Description
The below image shows the docs with the current snapshot repository options:
For an environment that is air gapped, there are not many options available as far as registries to backup the elastic data.
I propose that allowing direct downloading of the data onto a system that could handle it OR allowing admins to push the download to a url that would accept the input it would be a great addition.
The shared file system repository does not work well for me as this is an ECK stack so there is no guarantee that the data will exist on a node that contains the mounted folder that would be used for backup.
I will grant that deploying MinIO to emulate an S3 bucket is an option, but I would rather not have to support another tool just to do Elastic backups.
I believe that additional options for snapshot repositories would be well appreciated!
