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:**
```auto
# ----------------------------------- 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:**
```auto
PUT /_snapshot/my_backup
{
"type": "fs",
"settings": {
"location": "/root/backup",
"compress": true
}
}
```
My Result Error:
```auto
{
"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 can I do?

Please format your code using ``.
`D:/elasticsearch-2.3.1/repo/my_backup` is not `D:\elasticsearch-2.3.1\repo\my_backup`

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]
