# Snapshot migration
|
|
|
|
One popular approach is to take a [snapshot]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/snapshot-restore/) of your Elasticsearch OSS 6.x or 7.x indices, [create an OpenSearch cluster]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/install/), restore the snapshot on the new cluster, and point your clients to the new host.
|
|
|
|
The snapshot approach can mean running two clusters in parallel, but lets you validate that the OpenSearch cluster is working in a way that meets your needs prior to modifying the Elasticsearch OSS cluster.
