Hi, I am wondering if its possible to register more than one backup repository for snapshots. Basically I have different types of indices in my cluster and I want to backup one set to Azure, and another set to a local file share.  
Is this possible? If so, is there any documentation on how to do this?

Yes, you can create multiple repositories.

Documentation is [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html).
