I saw the documentation in below link regarding backing up cluster . [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/backing-up-your-cluster.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/backing-up-your-cluster.html) It says we can create shared repository to backup cluster. My question is where to run below command ? I am using redhat Linux as operating system and there is no put command. Please correct me If I am wrong . PUT \_snapshot/my\_backup ---

`GET _snapshot/my_backup` which can be translated to: ```auto curl -XGET localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup?pretty ``` ---

Next thing is , Can I restore a data based on time interval ? Document says , data will get restored based on Index. ---

You can have multiple snapshots of each index. If you name your snapshots after the time when they were started it's easy to implement restore operations based on time. ---
