Hello team, I wanna backup the data of me cluster of 3 nodes master /hot/warm, when I try to take snapshot to a 2 gb or more index It gets stuck and I can no longer take another snapshot but after I restart the nodes, is there any suggestions to overcome this problem. Thank you.

Please share your repo settings, as well as the API request you are using to take the snapshot, and the Elasticsearch logs.
