Hi,

I cannot create repo, before that i made a normal backup and restore. However after reconfiguring elasticsearch.yml:  
Master nodes:

- voting only  
Data 1:
- master  
I then try to do it at repo creation but get below error:

```auto
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "repository_verification_exception",

        "suppressed": [
          {
            "type": "repository_verification_exception",
            "reason": "[cluster-snap] a file written by master to the store [/data/elastic-backups] cannot be accessed on the node [{elk-data-node1}{bR_naISgSlaeGwR6WqM3tA}{Iyu4Af3dTVmb7stMV3ynAA}{elk-data-node1}{x.x.x.x}{x.x.x.x:9300}{dr}{8.7.1}{xpack.installed=true}].

          }
        ]
      }
    ],

        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "status": 500
}

```

Is this a CA gene? currently 3 nodes are still running

How did you create the repository?

Also, is the path `/data/elastic-backups` a network share and it is mounted in **every** master and data node on the cluster?
