Hi there, I use Elasticsearch 6.x I follow this tutorial: [https://badshah.io/backup-and-restore-elasticsearch-cluster-using-gcs/](https://badshah.io/backup-and-restore-elasticsearch-cluster-using-gcs/) But I got an error `repository_verification_exception` After I create a repository ```auto { "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "repository_verification_exception", "reason": "[backup] [[Z_bopU6OSbuJZnTYUewk_Q, 'RemoteTransportException[[hostname1][IP_ES:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[backup] missing];']]" } ], "type": "repository_verification_exception", "reason": "[backup] [[Z_bopU6OSbuJZnTYUewk_Q, 'RemoteTransportException[[hostname1][IP_ES:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[backup] missing];']]" }, "status": 500 } ``` Command that I use to create repository ```auto curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"type": "gcs", "settings": {"bucket": "backup_elastic", "base_path": "es-backup"} }' localhost:9200/_snapshot/backup ``` I already search in google for this error, but I still I can't find the answer. Maybe someone in here can help me. Thanks! ---

Hi @shrikantgulia, thanks for the reply. Hmm but where is the repository located? By the way, I'm not adding `path.repo` configuration in elasticsearch.yml ---

Can you be more clear ? What is "that" in "I also try that" ? Also going back to the original post, it is not clear when you get the error, trying to do what? Creating the repository or taking a snapshot. Can you please start fresh, create the repository again and copy paste here all the commands your are executing and the responses you get from elasticsearch? The more information you give,the easier it is for folks in the forums to help you out ! ---

Hmm, I'm sorry @ikakavas for the unclear information. I mean "that" is link @dadoonet give to me -\> [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-gcs-usage.html#repository-gcs-service-authentication](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-gcs-usage.html#repository-gcs-service-authentication) I got an error when creating a repository. This is my command to create a repository: ``` curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"type": "gcs", "settings": {"bucket": "backup_elastic", "base_path": "es-backup"} }' localhost:9200/_snapshot/backup ``` After I hit enter, I got an error: ```auto { "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "repository_verification_exception", "reason": "[backup] [[Z_bopU6OSbuJZnTYUewk_Q, 'RemoteTransportException[[ms-esdata-flightsearch1][10.145.128.198:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[backup] missing];']]" } ], "type": "repository_verification_exception", "reason": "[backup] [[Z_bopU6OSbuJZnTYUewk_Q, 'RemoteTransportException[[ms-esdata-flightsearch1][10.145.128.198:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[backup] missing];']]" }, "status": 500 } ``` ---
