Hi All, I'm creating day wise snapshots which contains multiple indices for different services (also day wise). I'm planning to move older snapshots from S3 Intelligent-Tiering to S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class. For transitioning objects from one storage class to another I'll set up a S3 lifecycle rule. This part seems sorted, but the problem is with retrieving the data. The "/indices" folder in S3 bucket has multiple folders with random uuid as their name. If I want to retrieve an index from the Glacier, I wouldn't know which folder/objects to retrieve. Is there any way to know the uuid/folder-name of the deleted indices which are part of the older snapshots? ---

Hi @karan_c Welcome to the community. Unfortunately, there is no there is user-consumable / user-accessible mapping between the UUIDs and indices. Perhaps take a look at this post for a possible solution > [@Is it possible to move a one time snapshot to Glacier?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-it-possible-to-move-a-one-time-snapshot-to-glacier/327455): > > Hi, In the docs, it states that after snapshotting an index to S3 you shouldn't transition it to Glacier. I have a use case where I would like to snapshot an index as a one off event and store it as cheaply as possible, but still recover in the off chance we'd ever need it again. In an ideal world I would make a snapshot for a given base\_path (folder in bucket) and then transition that base\_path to glacier. Any other snapshotting in the meantime will happen on a different base\_path. Then if we… ---
