I have 2 ElasticCloud on Azure japaneast and southeastasia. Try to test failover, I want make snapshot on japaneast, then restore on southeastasia. I know direct restore didn't support between regions, So I make script to copy blob files from japaneast to southeastasia. After copy files, I feel snapshot is OK on southeastasia. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/8/0856c2f5d0be13c04885f47e5bc0fd53bc5b70b0.png) But after restore snapshot on southeastasia, No snapshot restored status and Index Health is red. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/0/b0117cd9a01a489a93936f04e365267dec3a130e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/8/a830447ea1ccc27eaa04794c0c0ecf123957aed9.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/7/d7a19bedf31c207961249b63a9d3c23af36d8068.png) What's wrong with me? Thanks. ---

Just to be sure, I download blobs from japaneast and southeastasia, them compare them. No difference found. ---

If your cluster health is `red` you should always start from the [allocation explain API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-allocation-explain.html). Here is a blog post about diagnosing `red` health: > **[RED Elasticsearch Cluster? Panic no longer](https://www.elastic.co/blog/red-elasticsearch-cluster-panic-no-longer)** > > Your cluster is RED - you have unassigned shards and your cluster is not fully operational. Introducing a new Elasticsearch API which will save the day. ---

@DavidTurner Thank you for your reply ! I found some plugins are not installed on southeastasia deployment. After install plugin, restore is succeeded. ---
