Is it possible to manually take snapshot from one index? I found from the documentation that it is be possible to snapshot all indices, but I want just one index backed up.

PUT _snapshot/my_repository/%3Cmy_snapshot_%7Bnow%2Fd%7D%3E

Hi @tapiojaa, You can take manual snapshot for specific indices.

The following request will take a snapshot of index_1 and index_2.

PUT /_snapshot/my_repository/snapshot_2?wait_for_completion=true
{
  "indices": "index_1,index_2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": false,
  "metadata": {
    "taken_by": "user123",
    "taken_because": "backup before upgrading"
  }
}

Thank you very much, it works. I was pretty sure that this is possible
