How to take snapshots of specific indices in Elastic Cloud Enterprise?

Question

In Elastic Cloud UI, You can take snapshots/backup of your entire on-disk data and store it in a file shared system, say, Object Store S3.

How do I backup only certain indices instead of all with using Elastic Cloud UI only? Is there a way?

If not then and only then I want to go with APIs.

If you link out to the Elasticsearch Service docs for Snapshot and Restore, you will see that we also link to the Elasticsearch Snapshot and Restore docs. Here you will find instructions to backup certain indices. You can use the API console to do this more easily through the Elastic Cloud UI.
