Hi,

Since the default Snapshot Policy (which runs every 30m) can overlap with my custom one, which leads to the situation that my Snapshot could fail to be taken, I decided to turn the default off (by updating the scheduled time to a time in the past).

However, Elasticsearch warns that changing it might affect other systems.  
In this particular case, I wonder is there any problem when I do so?

Thanks in advance 😃
