Hi, So I've found my definition of definitive and the [elastic.io](http://elastic.io) guides definition to be slightly divergent. As such I wondered if anyone here could help me get my backups sorted out? Origionally I tried to get it to backup to a NAS using a Network File Share however every time I tried to run the backups I it stalled and I got Java blocked errors coming up on screen. Not to worry I thought there is an option to backup to HDFS here and that's a more logical & salable place to put it anyway! The definitive guide was a bit light on how to for this though. After some searching I found I could install the necessary plugin with the following command bin/plugin install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.2.0-hadoop2 When I tried to run this though I got an alert telling me "ERROR: Plugin [repository-hdfs] is incompatible with Elasticsearch [2.4.1]. Was designed for version [2.2.0]" seeing 2.2.0 in both the error and the command I executed I thought I saw a fix but there is no version 2.4.1-hadoop2 available so I'm now at a bit of a loss on how to go forward. Any help would be appreciated. ---

`bin/plugin install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-repository-hdfs/2.4.0-hadoop2` does return a file but it reports that it was designed for 2.4.0 and won't work with 2.4.1, looking here > **[elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/tree/2.4/repository-hdfs)** > > elasticsearch-hadoop - :elephant: Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively integrated with Hadoop I get the impression a release has yet to be done for 2.4.1 and with 5.0 being the new focus there may never be one? ---

@Ant There was no release for 2.4.1 because there were no changes in the 2.x branch to be released at the time. It shouldn't be a problem to cut a 2.4.1 release to remove those warnings. I'll spin one out soon. ---

@Ant ES-Hadoop 2.4.1 is now available, alongside ES-Hadoop 2.4.2. ---

@james.baiera worked a treat thanks! backed up on my 2.4.1 box and then rolled out a new 2.4.2 box and it all restored a treat! ---
