Restoring and Deleting Backups
Last updated:2026-01-07 19:32:03
Recovering Using a Backup
Log in to the Elasticsearch Service console, click the cluster ID/Name in the cluster list to enter the cluster details page. On the "Backup Management" page, locate the snapshot used for recovery in the backup data list, click the Restore button in the action bar, select the indexes to restore and the target cluster, enter the target cluster's user password, and restore the selected backup to the target cluster.
The indexes to restore are optional. Without specifying indexes, full restoration of all indexes is performed.
The target cluster to restore to can be this cluster or another cluster in the same region.
Querying Snapshot Recovery Status
You can execute the following command on the target cluster to view the recovery status of a specified snapshot or index.
GET /_snapshot/<repository_name>/<snapshot_name>/_statusGET index_1/_recovery
Canceling Snapshot Recovery
If restored_index_1 is restoring, using the following deletion command on the target cluster will stop recovery and perform simultaneous deletion of all data restored to the cluster.
DELETE /restored_index_1
Deleting a Backup
Locate the snapshot to be deleted in the backup data list, click the Delete button in the action bar to delete the corresponding snapshot.
Deletion is an irreversible operation. Use with caution.
