The elk\_bak permissions: `drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 4096 Sep 19 14:50 elk_bak` The Elasticsearch process, is to use elasticsearch start. Is this problem? ---

The repository path must be a [shared file system](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_shared_file_system_repository) accessible to all nodes in the cluster. is this the case in your setup? ---
