Hi,

I did snapshot and restore on CentOS platform with ES 2.4.1. After I installed ES 5.0.0 on windows10.  
I'm trying to load data:

```
POST /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek/_restore
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": true,
  "rename_pattern": "index_(.+)",
  "rename_replacement": "restored_index_$1"
}

```

error :

```
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "repository_missing_exception",
        "reason": "[elastic_titub_yedek] missing"
      }
    ],
    "type": "repository_missing_exception",
    "reason": "[elastic_titub_yedek] missing"
  },
  "status": 404
} 

```

What is the problem?

Hey,

how did you create the `elastic_titub_yedek` repository? Is that repository shown when you run the [cat repositories API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/cat-repositories.html)?

Centos with ES 2.4.1 :

**Repository:**

```
 PUT /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek
{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "location":"/backup/elastic_titub_yedek",
    "compress":true,
    "chunk_size": "10m"
  }
}

```

**Snapshot :**

```
 PUT /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": false
}

```

**Restore:**

```
 POST /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek/_restore
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": true,
  "rename_pattern": "index_(.+)",
  "rename_replacement": "restored_index_$1"
}

```

It's right here. After I tried windows 10 platform with ES 5.0.0 Restore:

```
POST /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek/_restore
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": true,
  "rename_pattern": "index_(.+)",
  "rename_replacement": "restored_index_$1"
}

```

Error:

```
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "repository_missing_exception",
        "reason": "[elastic_titub_yedek] missing"
      }
    ],
    "type": "repository_missing_exception",
    "reason": "[elastic_titub_yedek] missing"
  },
  "status": 404
}
```

Hey,

I am confused now. How can you create a fs repo with a windows path under centos?

Also I have not seen, that the repository was created fine under windows - thats why I asked for the cat repo command.

**Ok. Firstly, I created repository on Centos 6.7 with ES 2.4.1:**

```
 PUT /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek
{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "location":"/backup/elastic_titub_yedek",
    "compress":true,
    "chunk_size": "10m"
  }
}

```

Secondly, I created snapshot on Centos 6.7 with ES 2.4.1:

```
PUT /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": false
}

```

Finally I restored on Centos 6.7 with ES 2.4.1

```
POST /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek/_restore
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": true,
  "rename_pattern": "index_(.+)",
  "rename_replacement": "restored_index_$1"
}

```

Is it right here?

**After I installed windows10 platform and I installedES 5.0.0.**

Firstly, I created repository on Windows10 with ES 5.0.0:

```
PUT /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek
{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "location":"C:\\elasticsearch-5.0.0\\backup\\elastic_titub_yedek",
    "compress":true,
    "chunk_size": "10m"
  }
}

```

**result:**

```
{
  "acknowledged": true
}

```

Secondly, I restored on Windows10 with ES 5.0.0

```
POST /_snapshot/elastic_titub_yedek/snapshot_elastic_titub_yedek/_restore
{
  "indices": "titub2",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": true,
  "rename_pattern": "index_(.+)",
  "rename_replacement": "restored_index_$1"
}

```

Result:

```
{
  "accepted": true
}

```

is it correct?
