Repo register issue

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello

I have Elasticsearch installed in Windows Server.

I want to take snapshot and restore it in another server.
I have added in Elasticsearch.yml file path.repo and location
path.repo: "D:\ES_Backup"

When I am trying to register repo it gives me error
"reason": "[ES_Backup] location [D:\ES_Backup] doesn't match any of the locations specified by path.repo because this setting is empty"

Can you help me? What am I doing wrong?

P.S. also I tried in Elasticsearch.yml file to write repo path in these ways:
path.repo: ["D:\ES_Backup"]
path.repo: D:\ES_Backup
path.repo: "D:/ES_Backup"
path.repo: ["D:/ES_Backup"]

It says path.repo should be escaped to be "D:\\ES_Backup".

Changed Elasticsearch.yml in everynode and restarted them after changing path.repo?

Yes, changed it and restarted service. I have single node.

Here is message from elasticsearch_server.json file

I wonder whether the ES cluster look at the Elasticsearch.yml you changed. (The default location is described here.)

Another change such as change of some node roles in Elasticsearch.yml take effect?
What will happen if for example add data_frozen, retart and GET /_nodes ?
