§ Databases · Search

OpenSearch backups, natively.

The same snapshot flow as Elasticsearch: a fresh repository per run, driven over REST from the Xtic server.

What Xtic runs

Snapshot API
PUT /_snapshot/xtic-<run>/snap?wait_for_completion=true  {"indices":"*,-.*","include_global_state":true}

Shown with placeholders. Credentials never appear on a command line: they reach the tool through the environment, a file descriptor or a short-lived file in memory.

Restore paths

  • Alongside: indices restored under a new prefix
  • Original indices: closed or deleted first, after approval

Verification

Snapshot state SUCCESS with no failed shards. Every artifact is also hashed, and the stored copy is read back and compared before the run counts as verified.

Version rule

Same or newer version, one major apart at most.

Good to know

  • path.repo must be set on every node — a prerequisite with a rolling restart
  • Licence and editions: Apache 2.0 — no gates.
