Hi,  
I'd like to know if there is a way to restore a manual snapshot made with ES 7.6.1 into ES 7.1.1.  
I tried and I got the error: the snapshot was created with Elasticsearch version [7.6.1] which is higher than the version of this node [7.1.1]

That makes sense to me, but I'm wondering how can accomplish to the mission in this particular case.

Thanks

Snapshot restore is dependent on the version. However you could try [reindex from remote](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/reindex-upgrade-remote.html) instead

Thanks very much Alexander, I was thinking about that.

Last chance was the idea to scroll index and save data into a JSON file and then import them. It should't be so hard do that, but I was hoping to find a better solution.
