Thanks, Abdon  
I am able to resolve it.  
I was using

```auto
path.repo: ["C:/backup_elasticsearch_2_3_0"]

```

but when I used

```auto
path.repo: ["C:\\backup_elasticsearch_2_3_0"]

```

It is working fine.

But I noticed that indices is restored in elasticsearch 5.6.0 with some dummy name instead of "event-YYYY.MM.DD"
