How to use snapshot repo url

[Harper_S1 (Harper S)]

Hi,

We are creating a parallel cluster and we need to migrate all the data. I saw the option where we can take the snapshot on existing cluster and create a repo url which can be used by another cluster and we can restore to the target cluster.

I tried the following option.

PUT {{elkbaseurl}}/_snapshot/my_read_only_url_repository 
{ 
"type": "url", 
"settings": { "url": "file:/opt/snapshots/68" } 
}

repo is registered. but I am not able to figure out, what is the url, and how to access.

Thanks!

Hi,

the URL you're using (file:/opt/snapshots/68 ) is for a local file system.
