# Restore snapshot into an existing deployment
You can restore a snapshot to recover indices and data streams after deletion or as part of disaster recovery.
1. From your deployment menu, go to **Elasticsearch** and then **Snapshots**.
2. On the **Snapshots** page, click **Restore from another deployment**.
3. Configure the deployment and snapshot to use.
4. Click *Restore snapshot* to start the restore process.

<note>
  In Elastic Cloud Hosted, you can use dedicated Elastic Cloud APIs to expose the built-in snapshot repository (`found-snapshots`) from one deployment to another as read-only. This allows a deployment to access and restore snapshots from another deployment without manually configuring snapshot repositories:
  - [Attach another deployment's built-in snapshot repository](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/cloud/operation/operation-create-deployment-es-resource-snapshot-repository)
  - [List the attached snapshot repositories](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/cloud/operation/operation-get-deployment-es-resource-snapshot-repository)
  - [Remove an attached snapshot repository](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/cloud/operation/operation-delete-deployment-es-resource-snapshot-repository)
