Yes, you can use the built in [snapshot and restore functionality](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/modules-snapshots.html#modules-snapshots).

Is there any other way of backup except snapshot? I am thinking about continuous monitoring and backup. Is it possible solution?
