Backup and restore an Elastic search index (shamelessly copied from http://tech.superhappykittymeow.com/?p=296)

# herein we backup our indexes! this script should run at like 6pm or something, after logstash
# rotates to a new ES index and theres no new data coming in to the old one. we grab metadatas,
# compress the data files, create a restore script, and push it all up to S3.

Backup ElasticSearch with rsync
# TO_FOLDER=/something
# FROM=/your-es-installation
DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M`
TO=$TO_FOLDER/$DATE/
echo "rsync from $FROM to $TO"
# the first times rsync can take a bit long - do not disable flusing
rsync -a $FROM $TO
# now disable flushing and do one manual flushing
