Have you created a policy to create the snapshots ? Selecting what you want to save, which is what you can restore ?

You didn't describe what you did very clearly, but my guess is that you registered the repository and then unpacked your archive copy. You must never modify the contents of a repository while it's registered with Elasticsearch. The manual has instructions on backing up and restoring a repository which includes this guidance:

When restoring a repository from a backup, you must not register the repository with Elasticsearch until the repository contents are fully restored. If you alter the contents of a repository while it is registered with Elasticsearch then the repository may become unreadable or may silently lose some of its contents.

Yeah, i clear contents of a repository, afther than move into this directory other data. I lose my data forever?
