Have you verified that the shared repository path is available for reading and writing for all nodes in the cluster?

Hello,

Is /backup accessible from each nodes of your cluster with good permissions ?

`The shared file system repository ("type": "fs") uses the shared file system to store snapshots. In order to register the shared file system repository it is necessary to mount the same shared filesystem to the same location on all master and data nodes. This location (or one of its parent directories) has to be registered in the path.repo setting on all master and data nodes.`
