Restoring a Backup to a New OpenSearch Cluster

Restore a backup to a different OpenSearch cluster than the source cluster.

Use this option when the cluster itself has failed and you need to rebuild the cluster. If the cluster is fine but there's an issue with the data in the cluster, see Restoring a Backup to the Source OpenSearch Cluster.

Before you restore the backup, you need to create the new cluster. Follow the steps in Creating an OpenSearch Cluster, and specify the same node configuration options as the ones for the cluster that you're restoring from backup.
