Hi I want to register snapshot to backup my indices.  
But my ES cluster is down i cant do it via SENSE UI

my command is

```
 curl -XPUT 'elk.***.com:9200/_snapshot/my_backup'
		{
			"type": "fs",
			"settings": {
			"location": "/elk_bak/esback",
			"compress": true
				}
		}

```

Where can i run this command?  
In shell prompt it is not taking multiline command.
