Restore snapshot into an existing deployment

You can restore a snapshot to recover indices and data streams after deletion or as part of disaster recovery.

From your deployment menu, go to Elasticsearch and then Snapshots.
On the Snapshots page, click Restore from another deployment.
Configure the deployment and snapshot to use.
Click Restore snapshot to start the restore process.

Note

In Elastic Cloud Hosted, you can use dedicated Elastic Cloud APIs to expose the built-in snapshot repository (found-snapshots) from one deployment to another as read-only. This allows a deployment to access and restore snapshots from another deployment without manually configuring snapshot repositories:

Attach another deployment's built-in snapshot repository
List the attached snapshot repositories
Remove an attached snapshot repository
