title: How to access AWS ElasticSearch Service automated snapshots/backups?
body: <p>I was under the impression AWS ElasticSearch service comes with automated snaphshots/backups. Thats what I find in the documentation. It suggests they happen once a day and are stored on s3 but I do not see any backups in any of my s3 buckets. How do you get access to the automated snapshots?</p>
  
  <p>It probably doesn't matter but I used the following template to create my elasticsearch domain explicitly indicating I want automated backups.</p>
  
  <p><strong>CloudFormation</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>"SnapshotOptions": {
      "AutomatedSnapshotStartHour": "0"
  }
  </code></pre>
