Deleting a Snapshot
Function
CSS allows you to use snapshots to back up and restore Elasticsearch cluster data. By storing a snapshot in an OBS bucket, you save a point-in-time copy of the cluster's data. By restoring this snapshot, you can restore the cluster to a previous state. There are two ways to create snapshots to back up a CSS cluster: automatic and manual.
-
Automatic snapshot creation: Snapshots are created periodically based on a preset time policy, for example, daily or weekly, to ensure continuous data protection. This reduces manual effort and improves backup reliability and efficiency.
-
Manual snapshot creation: You can manually create snapshots when necessary, for example, before performing a mission-critical operation (such as a cluster upgrade), so you can use these snapshots to quickly restore the cluster to a previous state in case anything goes wrong. Manual snapshots provide more flexibility.
This API is used to delete a snapshot.

After a snapshot is deleted, its data cannot be restored. Exercise caution.
