I have my Elasticsearch backup on one cluster(Ip). And i want to restore it on another cluster(ip 2).  
I have created tar file of backup on source cluster and transferred it to second and decompressed it there.  
I have created repository with same path on second cluster and it has been successfully registered but when i am trying to get snapshots present in that repository, it comes out as empty.  
When i tried to restore the snapshots, it shows an error **"Snapshot not exists"** but the snapshots are present in my directory structure at the defined repository path of destination cluster.  
What would be the possible solution for it?
