Snapshots taken by earlier OpenSearch versions can continue to be restored by the version of OpenSearch that originally took the snapshot, even after a version upgrade. For example, a snapshot taken by OpenSearch 2.11 or earlier can continue to be restored with 2.11 clusters even after upgrading to 2.12. If you have an old snapshot taken from an earlier major OpenSearch version, you can restore it to an intermediate cluster one major version newer than the snapshot's version, reindex all indexes, take a new snapshot, and repeat until you arrive at your desired major version, but you may find it easier to manually index your data in the new cluster.
