I'd upgrade to latest 1.7, then install the migration plugin and check what is needed. Then upgrade to 2.4 if possible.

But I'd probably go another route:

Start a 5.2 cluster  
Use reindex from remote API to read data from 1.3 cluster.

Hi,

Actually i already backup the nodes data from Elasticsearch 1.3.9 to D:\D\Backup\_data

PUT /\_snapshot/timo\_backup2  
{  
"type": "fs",  
"settings": {  
"compress" : true,  
"location": "/D/Backup\_data/"  
}  
}

i have try this command at elasticsearch 2.4  
POST /\_snapshot/timo\_backup2/snapshot-number-one/\_restore

but have error  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "repository\_missing\_exception",  
"reason": "[timo\_backup2] missing"  
}  
],  
"type": "repository\_missing\_exception",  
"reason": "[timo\_backup2] missing"  
},  
"status": 404  
}

Now how to restore my data from D:\D\Backup\_data to Elasticsearch 2.4?

Thanks

Best regards  
Sharon

You did not upgrade to 1.7 first?  
I mean that IIRC you can only use the migration plugin on 1.7.

But that was not your question.

In the repository location I think you are missing the D: part.
