So, I have some indices on my elastic cloud. Initially, I registered a repository on my own AWS S3 bucket and then created a snapshot that has all the indices stored within it. Now, I have installed Elastic Search and Kibana on my local laptop and I want to restore the snapshot there. I will not use Elastic Cloud further, so I want to backup all of the data in my locally installed Elastic. So, how can do that?? Any ideas for that??

You can mount the same s3 repository in your cloud instance, then snapshot the data there.

From your local instance, mount the same s3 repository and restore.
