Issues with Path.repo / repository for Backing Up Clusters

Hi Everyone,

I am not able to create a repository mentioned in this article of elasticsearch site: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/backing-up-your-cluster.html

I have already configured the folder path in elasticsearch.yml file for all nodes master/data.

I have also granted everyone an access for the folders of the repository in each node.

But I still encounter this error

Can you advise as to what I've missed? Have i configured it the wrong way? I'm still a beginner in Elasticsearch.

Is that path a shard drive on all the nodes, or just a local disk with a similar path name?
