Hello Elasticsearch Community,

I'm encountering issues while trying to restore snapshots in my Elasticsearch cluster. The snapshots appear to be created successfully, but when I attempt to restore them, I receive errors indicating that certain files are missing. Specifically, the error messages are of the type:

INTERNAL\_SERVER\_ERROR: NoSuchFileException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/snapshots/{file\_path}

### Steps Taken:

1. **Verified Permissions:** Ensured that Elasticsearch has read/write permissions to the snapshot directory.
2. **Checked Snapshot Integrity:** Used the `_status` API to check snapshot status, but no obvious issues were found during the snapshot creation.
3. **Tried Partial Restore:** Attempted to restore specific indices, but the same errors occurred.
4. **Checked Logs:** Reviewed the Elasticsearch logs for additional details, but the logs primarily reflect the same `NoSuchFileException` errors.
