Answer 1

ElasticSearch itself provides a way to create data backup and restoration. The simple command to do it is:

CURL -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_snapshot//' -d '{
    "indices": "",
    "ignore_unavailable": true,
    "include_global_state": false
}'

Now, how to create, this folder, how to include this folder path in ElasticSearch configuration, so that it will be available for ElasticSearch, restoration method, is well explained here. To see its practical demo surf here.
