Hi,

I am trying to snapshot and restore module in elasticsearch but ı have a problem.
I am using marvel plugin. My repository codes:

PUT /_snapshot/my_backup/
{
"type": "fs",
"settings": {
"location": "/root/backup/",
"compress": true
}
}

RESULT ERROR:
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "repository_exception",
"reason": "[my_backup] failed to create repository"
}
],
"type": "repository_exception",
"reason": "[my_backup] failed to create repository",
"caused_by": {
"type": "creation_exception",
"reason": "Guice creation errors:\n\n1) Error injecting constructor, RepositoryException[[my_backup] location [/root/backup/] doesn't match any of the locations specified by path.repo because this setting is empty]\n at org.elasticsearch.repositories.fs.FsRepository.(Unknown Source)\n while locating org.elasticsearch.repositories.fs.FsRepository\n while locating org.elasticsearch.repositories.Repository\n\n1 error",
"caused_by": {
"type": "repository_exception",
"reason": "[my_backup] location [/root/backup/] doesn't match any of the locations specified by path.repo because this setting is empty"
}
}
},
"status": 500
}

What is the problem?

That does not look possible to me.

Christian_Dahlqvist · December 25, 2015, 6:36pm

It looks like the problem is that '/root/backup/' does not match any of the configured paths;["/mount/backups","/mount/longterm_backups"]

Hi,

I am tyring again:

My elasticsearch.yml codes:

# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
# path.data: /path/to/data
#
# Path to log files:
#
# path.logs: /path/to/logs
# path.repo: ["/root/backup"]

My Codes:

 PUT /_snapshot/my_backup
{
    "type": "fs",
    "settings": {
        "location": "/root/backup",
        "compress": true
    }
}

My Result Error:

{
   "error": {
      "root_cause": [
         {
            "type": "repository_exception",
            "reason": "[my_backup] failed to create repository"
         }
      ],
      "type": "repository_exception",
      "reason": "[my_backup] failed to create repository",

         }
      }
   },
   "status": 500
}

What can I do?

dadoonet · December 28, 2015, 4:55pm

uncomment path.repo: ["/root/backup"]

sukesh · July 13, 2016, 6:26am

Please format your code using </>.

D:/elasticsearch-2.3.1/repo/my_backup is not D:\elasticsearch-2.3.1\repo\my_backup

sukesh · July 13, 2016, 10:54am

i tried to change in config file as you suggested in path.repo: [D:/elasticsearch-2.3.1/repo/my_backup]
, after changing that i tried to restart the ES but its failing to start the service.

If i give with # tag then ES service is starting successfully , like # path.repo: [D:/elasticsearch-2.3.1/repo/my_backup]

dadoonet · July 13, 2016, 11:03am

path.repo: ["D:/elasticsearch-2.3.1/repo/my_backup"]

sukesh · July 13, 2016, 11:09am
