Backup of splunk Indexes in amazon S3 bucket in splunk 7.x

[naagaraj]

Hi All,

I am using splunk enterprise version 7.1. I am looking for a way to backup the splunk index data into Amazon S3 bucket.
can someone suggest a way to achieve this.

I assume using hunk is deemed legacy in 7.x versions.

Thanks

Splunk Hadoop Data Roll can backup your indexes into HDFS or S3 (we recommend that you use S3A and not S3).
