Hi All, I try to restore my backup snapshot using command curl -XPOST "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_backup/snapshot\_1/\_restore" But it was come up error {"error":"SnapshotRestoreException[[my\_backup:snapshot\_1] cannot restore index [cobbler\_api] because it's open]","status":500} Any input to fix this error? Do I need to close the index before restore and how can I do that? Thanks in advance for the input. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
