Hi,

I'am trying to restore a snapshot from the elastic cloud interface but it doesn't work, and i'am getting that message

index and alias names need to be unique, but the following duplicates were found [.kibana (alias of [.kibana\_3/rLLX57FvSsKqsF45THDLvA])]

How to fix that problem and be able to restore the snapshot ???

Thanks
