Restore elastic search from backup

[ak_bharath (Bharath)]

Hi There,

I want to restore indexes from elasticsearch backup on a windows machine.

copied the zip file(es_20170911) to a folder es_backup and extracted it
so the path is c:\backup\es_backup\es_20170911
Step I had done are

register the repository in elastic search

for that

I had done curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/es_snap?verify=false&pretty' -d '{"type":"fs", "settings":{"location":"\\PC-ASSET-2\backup\es-backup\es_backup_20170911","compress":true}}'

I am getting the following error

Invoke-WebRequest : Parameter cannot be processed because the parameter name 'd' is ambiguous. Possible matches
include: -DisableKeepAlive -Debug.
At line:1 char:67

• curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_snapshot/es_snap?verify=false&pretty' -d '{"type":"f ...

•                                                               ~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: ( [Invoke-WebRequest], ParameterBindingException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : AmbiguousParameter,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

Please help me this issue to be resolved.

I had tried with 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and tried removing d option and several combinations but the error is not get resolved.

The above steps I had tried in windows administrator powershell

I had tried the same above steps on postman with put and url with raw plain text option. it is throwing 406 not acceptable erro

Step:2

#curl -XPOST "localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1/_restore?wait_for_completion=true"

Is this the above command I have use after registering the repository? Please confirm.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

With Many Thanks,

Bharath AK
