Hey there i am back with another question 😅 So i was fooling around with snap and restore and i created a dummy index name "elastic\_snapshot\_demo" and after taking the backup of the index i came back to my elk server to verify although the backup has been successfully taken but saw this in indices folder and i cant understand where are these indices. Is there a way to trace back index from UUID?.

**Update** I did some research about the topic and i ran this command

`GET /_snapshot/elastic_snapshot_demo_fs_backup/daily-snap-2022.08.31-t2-k7_q-tuapssce46846w`

Are these indices came by default?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE \<3

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂
