Yes, that's possible. You need to configure the "another system" to point at the [same repository with `"readonly": true`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_repositories) and then you should be able to restore any of the snapshots in that repository.
