I have one index which has almost more than 10GB data size. But entire size of all indices with all documents is more than 50 GB data size. Is elastic search allows this much data to take backup and restore? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Yes, that is not a problem. There is no limit to the size of the backup.
