Hi,  
I am getting nearby crazy 🙂 I want to snapshot and to exlude my .kibana & .marvel indeces like this:

curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/backup/init" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"indices": "_,-.kibana,-.marvel_",  
"ignore\_unavailable": true,  
"include\_global\_state": false  
}  
'

It does not work, kibana and marvel things are still in the snapshot. I tried with:  
-.kibana  
-_kibana_  
-kibana  
-.kibana

Nothing worked.  
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.  
Best,  
Ronny
