Continuing the discussion from [Elasticsearch Snapshot repository size estimates](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-snapshot-repository-size-estimates/198774/3):

Continuing the discussion can someone with experience comment on this ?  
How much memory should I have assuming my data grows from 200 gb to 400 gb over a period of time let's say 1 year and ES take a snapshot in every 30 mins .  
Will the total memory of snapshots i.e all the snapshots upto that point will be equal or in range of current index size which are snapshotting ?
