Elasticsearch Backup and restore

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I would like to backup my elasticsearch indexes and delete the indexes older than 30 days. My indexes are timestamped so a separate index will get created for each day. How do I backup these to AWS S3 bucket or Azure Blob? Do I need to backup Indexes or the entire cluster?

Thanks,

The answers you seek are in the snapshot and restore documentation. You will need to install these plugins to use S3 or Azure. You can backup single indices or the whole cluster.
