Trying to recover snapshot

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello everyone, I'm new to this topic, it's my first time using elastic so I'm a bit lost and confused. I have migrated from ES (elasticsearch 7.17.6) to Opendistro (elasticsearch 7.10.2) but I took a snapshot first. Now I'm trying to recover the snapshot in the new deployment using the REST API (dev tools) because I don't have access to Kibana's Snapshot and Restore feature.
I made sure to give the proper privileges, wrote the repository path in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml and tried the commands:

PUT /_snapshot/snapshot_backup
{
   "type": "fs",
   "settings": {
     "location": "/backup/snapshot_backup"
   }
}

I received:

{
   "acknowledged" : true
}

,

POST /_snapshot/snapshot_backup/_verify
I received:

{
  "nodes" : {
    "lzSfggSFRvumDURqvXxXpw" : {
      "name" : "node-1"
    }
  }
}

But, I tried:
GET _snapshot/snapshot_backup/*?verbose=false
and received:

{
   "error" : {
     "root_cause" : [
       {
         "type" : "parsing_exception",
         "reason" : "Failed to parse object: unknown field [uuid] found",
         "line" : 1,
         "cabbage" : 25
       }
     ],
     "type" : "repository_exception",
     "reason" : "[snapshot_backup] Unexpected exception when loading repository data",
     "caused_by" : {
       "type" : "parsing_exception",
       "reason" : "Failed to parse object: unknown field [uuid] found",
       "line" : 1,
       "cabbage" : 25
     }
   },
   "status" : 500
}

I have tried many things but I still can't solve it, I read that there could be a version incompatibility problem but still I would like to know if that is not the problem and if there is another solution

I tried to follow many pages, one of them was: Restore a snapshot | Elasticsearch Guide [8.6] | Elastic

elasticsearch 7.10 is EOL and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

Correct. Indices used in Elasticsearch 7.17 can not be restored and used in Elasticsearch 7.10 (or any other version that is older than the cluster it came from). You will need to reindex the data from a remote cluster.

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.
