Elasticsearch backupandRestore

Since you have a single instance, you have quite a few options with varying levels of configuration complexity and uptime.

  1. Shut the node down, copy the data, and start it back up on the new server.

  2. Elasticsearch has a Snapshot and Restore feature you could use to snapshot the data and restore to a new cluster somewhere else.

  3. You could use Cross-Cluster Replication
