Hello. My server disk is broken yesterday. I couldn`t get snapshot, only I have index files. I will make new cluster -\> store old files -\> configure path -\> start. Could I recover if I make new cluster only with index file? Thank you. ---

Is this a single node cluster, that has no replicas assigned? ---

I have 2 data node, 1 coordinator, but unfortunately all of servers are broken... ---

Then you have likely lost the data unfortunately. ---

But I do file-backup, I have index files. Isn`t it possible..? ---

Have a look at the [snapshot docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshot-restore.html) and especially the first warning. Restoring from file system level snapshots is not supported nor guaranteed to work. ---
