hello, Everyone, I am trying to take a snapshot of an elasticsearch instance and restore on another elasticsearch instance for that, I followed the standard steps - elastic\_01 and elastic\_02 have this folder "/elasticsearch\_backup/es-backups/". - set path.repo in .yml with above folder path - verified elastic\_01 and elatic\_02 versions same or match. - created the repository and snapshot on both instances Now, I want the elastic\_01 snapshot to be restored on elastic\_02 So I deleted the content of the elastic\_02 folder and paste elastic\_01 content. and the problem is when I want to restore in elastic\_02 it doesn't show any snapshot in Kibana UI and when checked in the dev tool it shows there is no snapshot with the same name exist. Please help me to solve it out !! ---
