I started to do backups with the snapshot and restore API. I can make snapshots but requesting the status does not work. I get # curl -XGET "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/\_status" {"error":"RepositoryMissingException[[\_status] missing]","status":404} It does not work if the name of the backup or backup/snapshot are given # curl -XGET "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_backup/\_status" {"error":"SnapshotMissingException[[my\_backup:\_status] is missing]; nested: FileNotFoundException[/opt/backup/my\_backup/snapshot-\_status (No such file or directory)]; ","status":404} It seems the status handler is not treated and it treats the path segments as backup name/snapshot name.

Yes. This feature has been added in 1.1 [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/4946](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/4946) So it's not part on 1.0 This part of the documentation should be marked as "coming 1.1.0". -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 24 mars 2014 à 10:02:24, Norbert Hartl (norbert@hartl.name) a écrit: I started to do backups with the snapshot and restore API.
