Hi Team,

I have gone through the concept of snapshot for backup and restore.

command for backup : PUT/\_snapshot / ........./.........?wait\_for\_completion=true

command for restore : POST /\_snapshot/........../........../\_restore

Can you please suggest how to take date wise backup and restore?

Thanks  
Purvang Joshi

Can you please

Hi dadoonet,

 ![2017-07-29 12_17_22-Console - Kibana_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/c/8cbe7d06de3f74aa1796c127b52a8075cf0e1297.png)  
In attached snap you can see the command in console which I use to take backup and restore

You can also see list of indices with with date in attached snap.

When I take backup using command its taking all the indices as a backup,but I just want to take a backup of specific date indices i.e : backup of **logstash-2017.07.28.**

Can you please guide which command will be helpful to solve the query?

Regards  
Purvang

There is an example in the doc: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/modules-snapshots.html#\_snapshot](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/modules-snapshots.html#_snapshot)
