Hi,

Can anyone help you us in finding the steps to recover or backup the elastic search data before the indices are corrupted or any malfunction happens in the cluster or nodes.

Thanks in advance!!!

No, you can snapshot locally. See [this section of the page I linked above](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_shared_file_system_repository).
