if you are talking about index or indices back up then u can take the same with the help of CURATOR.

Or

if you are talking about your .conf file then simple create a backup folder and save all the conf file in that folder for future reference.

What is the curator command to take snapshot? $ curator snapshot --repository \< repository name \> indices \< index selection parameters \>. Is this a correct way?

Those commands look quite out of date. Please see [the current Curator snapshot documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/snapshot.html).
