Logstash just takes the incoming messages through inputs and converts them into a format that can be put into an elasticsearch index.
If you want to make backups of these elasticsearch indexes this is built in using the Admin -> Snapshots and Maintenance

Alternately, if you wanted to setup a separate text output, you can do that in the logstash configuration you can add one by going to
Configure -> Global Config
Click Show Output
Add Output
and then setup your new output based on the available outputs such as
