hello everyone, I'm using elasticsearch 5.5.1 with SearchGurd. I want to backup my indices, that's ok. it's done now. But when i want to restore this snapshot, there is an error: ```auto {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"not_x_content_exception","reason":"Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes"}],"type":"not_x_content_exception","reason":"Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes"},"status":500} ``` Does any one know what's wrong? Thanks for your time! ---

I think i know the reason now. I launched a test in my test [environment.it](http://environment.it) was fine.But when i copy my backup files to "Aliyun OSS" then download to my repo , and restore , the error occurs. so that's weird. ---

Do you have a full stack trace? Might give more clues. May be there are some hidden files or searchguard is doing something bad? May be try without searchguard? ---

@dadoonet I found out! My backup files were damaged when upload to OSS storage. Thanks for your advice. ---
