Elasticsearch snapshot creation with exclude list

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi

ElasticSearch 1.7.2

Is there a possibility to specify exclude indices list during snaphot creaton, rather than indices list to backup..?

I'd prefer exclude_list rather than indices list, because, we rename our indices in certain time, and then I would have to remember to modify backup script again.

Aa, found it:
", and the ability to "exclude" (-), for example: test*,-test3."

So I am using:
indice_list="*,-excluded_indice_name"
