Error in Taking Snapshot

[paul1243]

I updated the path.repo to a Windows shared drive folder and tried starting the ElasticSearch, I get the below error message:

path.repo: ["\\\\10.**.**.***\\Snapshots"]

I could able to access the Windows UNC Path from the Elastic Search Server. Could someone please let me know how do I resolve this issue.
