Hi Team,  
I am working on a failure scenario and trying to restore index on a different cluster (DR). But i am getting an error:

I am assuming the index snapshot can be store in any ES cluster, is my understanding correct? if yes, please help resolving this error:

{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "index\_shard\_restore\_failed\_exception",  
"reason": "failed to read shard snapshot file",  
"index": "filebeat-2016.10.10",  
"shard": "0"  
}  
],  
"type": "index\_shard\_restore\_failed\_exception",  
"reason": "failed to read shard snapshot file",  
"index": "filebeat-2016.10.10",  
"shard": "0",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "no\_such\_file\_exception",  
"reason": "/valid-file-path/filebeat-2016.10.10/0/snap-snapshot\_1.dat"  
}  
},  
"status": 500  
}

My Steps:

1. Taken a snapshot of index filebeat-2016.10.10 which belongs to cluster es-cluster-1

2. Manually copied filebeat backup directory to another physical server entitled es-cluster-2. This is a fresh cluster built for this testing only.

3. Trying to restore snapshot using:  
POST /\_snapshot/my-filebeat-snapshot/snapshot\_1/\_restore

Please let me know if you need more details.

Thanks & Regards

Ok for the new cluster i.e es-cluster-2 you need to create a repository with the name that is provided in es-cluster-1.Then you can restore it will restore the all the data.

Hope this helps.
