on running the elasticsearch snapshot query. The data is not getting saved in the file location.

This is a mounted folder and this was mounted using command:

```auto
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=qedbuser,password= **** ,domain=EUR, noprem //10.60.33.3/ffff/ProductionEnvironment /home/local/EUR/qedbuser/nb/aa/archives/

```

note: i am able to create a folder inside archives folder but not able to do a backup. I am trying to take backup using the same user as the user.

I am getting the following error.

It looks like the user that is running elasticsearch has no access to /home/local/EUR/qedbuser/apigateway/InternalDataStore/archives/default

Either mount it as the user elasticsearch runs as or add the elasticsearch to the group that is allowed to write to that directory.

Or run elasticsearch as user:

```auto
qedbuser

```
