Local gateway guide

After reading the elasticsearch doc
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/gateway/local.html?,
I am still not quite sure about how to use local gateway to backup/
restore a node.

What I plan to do is one-to-one copy all data/state information of
each node to the machines of another cluster so I can duplicate the
cluster. Could someone point to a doc that explains steps or
suggestion how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

By looking here:

It seems enough if you disable flush, then copy your data directory.
