Yes, with the knapsack plugin, you can specify a query, and the result set can be archived into tar.gz or zip archive. Knapsack has no feature for automatic deletion of documents since the operation may lead to unexpected data loss. Deletion should be done from shell after archiving has succeeded, when an external validation of the created archive succeeds (e.g. counting the number of entries in the archive). Knapsack may fail if disk space is full or file write privilege is insufficient, so it is essential to validate backups before proceeding. Best tool from shell to kill documents is curl, either by index delete or delete by query command.
