Backups at the file system level are not supported. Please use the snapshot and restore API instead.

Hi @Christian_Dahlqvist.

is it possible to take that snapshot with some other Elasticsearch host machine?

because i wanna to move all elastic index from current linux machine to other machine ?

Thanks

Snapshots require shared storage, but you can mount that onto other clusters once the snapshot is created and restore data there.
