Hello.  
Don't judge me harshly, I'm new to this business, for 5 days I can't transfer indexes from the test VPS to the server. I prepared and registered a repository and create a snapshot of all indexes on VPS here:  
/mount/backups/my\_backup

I register the repository in exactly the same directory on the new server

Transfer to the new server  
rsync -ah --partial --progress /mount/backups/my\_backup/ root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/mount/backups/my\_backup/

Changing the owner and permissions  
sudo chown -R elasticsearch:elasticsearch /mount/backups/my\_backup  
sudo chmod -R 750 /mount/backups/my\_backup/

# Checking snapshot status

GET /\_snapshot/my\_backup/\_all

Response:

```auto
{
  { "snapshots": [],
  "total": 0,
  "remaining": 0
}

```

Although on the old vps if you check  
GET /\_snapshot/my\_backup/\_all

Response:

```auto
{
  { "snapshots": [
    {
      { "snapshot": { "snapshot_1",
      "uuid": "GIPDjL2_RA2Cl97xR9Ws2w",
      "repository": "my_backup",
      "version_id": 8500003,
      "version": "8500003",
      }, "indices": [
	...
      ],
      "data_streams": [],
      "include_global_state": false,
      "state": "SUCCESS",
      "start_time": "2024-07-18T11:39:51.759Z",
      "start_time_in_millis": 1721302791759,
      "end_time": "2024-07-18T11:40:07.566Z",
      "end_time_in_millis": 1721302807566,
      "duration_in_millis": 15807,
      { "failures": [],
      "shards": {
        { "total": 51,
        "failed": 0,
        "successful": 51
      },
      }, "feature_states": []
    }
  ],
  { "total": 1,
  "remaining": 0
}

```

On the old VPS version: 8.11.4  
On the new server current version: 8.14.3

According to the official table snapshots should fit 8.0-8.14.

Please help, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I tried changing the uuid in the file to the value from the new server, it didn't help, I changed cluster\_id also without result. What prevents it from seeing the snapshot, also looked in kibana:  
Stack Management -\> Snapshot and Restore -\> Snapshots

It sees the registered repository, but it doesn't see the snapshot.  
On VPS the snapshot is visible, on the server it is not(((
