How many shards for each index? I am assuming that each node does not have all the data.
If you can stop indexing, you can just rsync the data to a local directory. Make sure you execute a flush and preferably an optimize in order to merge the segments on disk. The trick part is the manual combine you referred to. BTW, 3 nodes/2 data centers? Sounds like a recipe for trouble. :) Cheers, Ivan On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 7:41 PM, Mathew D <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > Any suggestions as to how I can create full ES backups without using > snapshot functionality? > > The reason I can't use snapshots is because they require a shared > directory mounted on all nodes, but my 3-node cluster spans two data > centres and I am not able to NFS mount over the WAN.
