How to backup and transfer the ES search index in a server migration?

[imthebest]

Hi,

I have my forum running with the ES add-on. I'm going to perform a server migration soon and I'd like to know if it's possible to backup the current search index so I can restore it on the new server without having the need to rebuild the search index from scratch.

Thanks,

I haven't used that so can't comment on its viability.
