  7. You can configure {ilm} ({ilm-init}) policies to automatically manage indices according to
  8. your performance, resiliency, and retention requirements.
  9. For example, you could use {ilm-init} to:
  10. * Create a new index each day, week, or month and archive previous ones
  11. * Spin up a new index when an index reaches a certain size
  12. * Delete stale indices to enforce data retention standards
  13. [TIP]
  14. To automatically back up your indices and manage snapshots,
  15. use <<getting-started-snapshot-lifecycle-management,snapshot lifecycle policies>>.
