How to recover index if replicas are set to zero?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

If I have an index with 10 shards but no replicas on a 2 node cluster, and
one node goes down. Can I somehow recover the 5 shards to the only running
node? Assuming that I backup the data directory on the node and make it
available to the other node. Is there an API or an automatic way to achieve
this?

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hello Sandeep ,

Instead of backing up the data directory , do a snapshot and you can
restore it later to single node machine or 10 node machine.

SNAPSHOT -

Thanks
