Hello,
I was reading through how exactly to do backup/snapshot for elasticsearch
0.90.7. Unfortunately, from the documentation, it appear that to snapshot ,
elasticsearch that give that feature is 1.x and onward.
Question, for elasticsearch 0.90, how do you do snapshot/backup, just in
case when upgrading, something went bad, the index can be restore? Would
recursive copy of the data directory to another directory is sufficient and
serve as backup and to restore would just copy back the backup index?
Thank you.
Jason

Yes. When you cluster is stopped, backup all your /data dirs for each node and you have a backup.
Then upgrade.
