What all files are to be moved if archiving snapshots to different location

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I use curator to take snapshots to a folder, which i would like to zip and move to another location. There is a folder named index and some files inside snapshot folder. My plan is to zip index, move to another location, and unzip at the time of restore. Should I zip the index folder alone, or the files (.dat, .latest etc) too??

Thank you.

Hi,
Curator only triggers a snapshot on a registered repository. In your case I suppose you registered a FS repository on elasticsearch.

I you want to move the files, then you should zip the root folder of the FS directory with all files.
