Hi guys,  
I need to backup my elasticsearch indices on a shared folder on Windows

My Elastic istance is a single node that run on a Ubuntu Server machine. I've created the share on Windows with "Everyone Full Control" permissions and I've mounted it on ubuntu

From Ubuntu I can write in this share, but when I try to backup with elastic I recevie an access denied permission

It's possibile to make backup on a Windows share?

Thanks in advance  
Best Regards,  
Jack
