May be try with

path.repo: X:\\Backup

Hello mujtabah!
Could you please use code tags? It will be easier to analyse your script and help you.
Are all permissions set for user that wants to get access to directory?

mujtabah · August 13, 2022, 9:46am

Hi
The repository is created and snapshot is taken successfully when i run elasticsearch.bat using powershell. If i run elasticsearch as a service the Elasticsearch service is stopped suddenly and gives this error.
The question is why is repo created successfully when elasticsearch is run from batch file using powershell and when i run as a service its stopped?

The path is not the same.

Z:\Backup\Backups

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using </> icon as explained in this guide and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

```
CODE
```

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text.
If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible.
Please update your post.
