How to backtest further than ~ 30 days?

I am backtesting the ES micro, specifically the F.US.MESZ19 (The December 2019 Contract).

But as you all know, this chart doesn't have much activity until around September 9 so I am only able to backtest about ~30 days. How can I do more thorough tests, and go back 250 days? I read somewhere there is a general ES I can backtest, that is not limited by these monthly contracts?
