Hello everyone,  
I'm trying achieve a backup for my documents using [this] ([Snapshot module | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html)). Now, I successfully register the filesystem for backup

> $ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_backup](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup)' -d '{  
> "type": "fs",  
> "settings": {  
> "location": "my\_backup",  
> "compress": true  
> }  
> }'  
> {acknowledge: "true"}

But upon query for the backup I found this.

> curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snaphost/mybackup?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_snaphost/mybackup?pretty)'  
> {  
> "error" : {  
> "root\_cause" : [ {  
> "type" : "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
> "reason" : "No feature for name [mybackup]"  
> } ],  
> "type" : "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
> "reason" : "No feature for name [mybackup]"  
> },  
> "status" : 400  
> }

Now, I'm trying to understand what does that error means. What am I suppose to change.

Any thing that I have done wrong above.

Sounds like a type: `_snaphost` vs `_snapshot`
