Hello everyone,  
I would like to know that if there are a method to verify what folder in the Backup Storage that correspondent with each index in Elasticsearch:  
For example: consider 3 index "audit\_trail", "index\_log", 'store\_historic" ( 1st picture).  
How can I know the directory in "/var/Miria4Analytics/backup/indices" (2nd picture) that correspondent with each index ?  
Thanks in advance for your help  
Regards

The mapping from indices to the data on disk is rather complex and (deliberately) opaque. Why do you want to know about the contents of the repository?
