Snapshot Api not working

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,
I'm running ES 2.4.4 and trying to use the snapshot API but I 'm getting the following error:

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"exception","reason":"failed to create blob container"}],"type":"exception","reason":"failed to create blob container","caused_by":{"type":"access_denied_exception","reason":"/var/lib/elasticsearch/data/es_snapshots/tests-JyPFj3wmSCq3UaxKnZcSAA"}},"status":500}

The command I've used to run the snapshot API is :

curl -XPUT -u user:passwd -k 'https://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup' -d '{ "type": "fs", "settings": { "location": "/var/lib/es_snapshots", "compress": true } }'

I've also used the same command with a different location:

curl -XPUT -u user:passwd -k 'https://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup' -d '{ "type": "fs", "settings": { "location": "/var/lib/elasticsearch/data/es_snapshots", "compress": true } }'

The path configurations for my ES look like this:

"path" : {
      "conf" : "/etc/elasticsearch",
      "data" : "/var/lib/elasticsearch/data",
      "logs" : "/var/log/elasticsearch",
      "home" : "/usr/share/elasticsearch",
      "repo" : [ "/var/lib/es_snapshots", "/var/lib/elasticsearch/data/es_snapshots" ]
    }
