How can we backup snapshot replicaton to remote server and restoring it to other server. Not importing or restoring data from local. ---

None of the standard repository types are inherently local. With a [shared file system repository](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_shared_file_system_repository) you can restore to any machine that has access to the file system, so if you're publishing the repository directory via NFS your requirement can be met. Another option is to publish the snapshot via HTTP and use a [read-only url repository](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_read_only_url_repository). ---
