Hello,

I have 2 Elasticsearch clusters, one with security enabled and the other with no security. Using the same repository registered on both the clusters.

While trying to restore indices from a snapshot taken on cluster-1 (security enabled) to cluster-2 (with no security) getting an error - "Failed to create blob container".

If it is possible to restore indices on cluster-2 from a snapshot taken on cluster-1, then what additional thing I have to do?

Sharing your snapshot config as well as the full error is helpful.
