@Mahadev, Rakesh [HAEA] Thanks for reaching here! As per official document- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-reliability#back-up-and-restore-alternatives
A business continuity strategy for the data layer usually includes a restore-from-backup step. Because Azure AI Search isn't a primary data storage solution, Microsoft doesn't provide a formal mechanism for self-service backup and restore.
However, you can use the index-backup-restore sample code in this Azure AI Search .NET sample repo to back up your index definition and snapshot to a series of JSON files, and then use these files to restore the index, if needed. This tool can also move indexes between service tiers.
