Shell script for backing up (and restoring) ElasticSearch indices.
This script is wholly based off of the initial work done by "Kale" at http://tech.superhappykittymeow.com/?p=296
I hope it is helpful to you. Please feel free to contribute!
Scary legal stuff to follow. Misuse of this script WILL delete your indices.
