Hello guys,

we need to restore frozen data, however is it possible to choose which source to restore (not all sources), if yes, how?

Thanks.

Hey,
when thawing (restoring) frozen data, you're limited to the name of the index, and the time range of the bucket(s) of that index you want to restore.
You can find details on how to do this in the "Restore archived indexed data" doc.

Hope that helps - if it does I'd be happy if you would upvote/accept this answer, so others could profit from it. 🙂
