Hi

I have a cluster of elasticsearch with 1 master 2 slaves nodes, total of 3.  
My componse file i put the repo params to backup

```
"path.repo=/usr/share/elasticsearch/backup-repo/"

```

Create a repo to backup and works fine in last week, today try run a backup again and the process failure.

My repo config:

```
PUT /_snapshot/bkp-data

```

> {  
> "type": "fs",  
> "settings": {  
> "location": "/usr/share/elasticsearch/backup-repo/",  
> "compress": true  
> }  
> }

When try get snapshot status:

`GET /_cat/snapshots`

> ```
> {

> ],  
> "type": "action\_request\_validation\_exception",  
> "reason": "Validation Failed: 1: repository is missing;"  
> },  
> "status": 400  
> }

My backup command:

`PUT /_snapshot/bkp_data/%3Csnapshot-%7Bnow%2Fd%7D%3E`

Thinking that problem can be the docker volume mounted, logging in container the volume are mounted and read/write works

Some can help 😃
