So you are probably doing something which is not exactly that but I can't tell...
May be do a screenshot?
Here is what I have when I run this exact command locally:
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "repository_exception",
"reason" : "[old_anthill_efk_nopci] location [/opt/elasticsearch-backup/efk-anthill-nopci-14.03.2021] doesn't match any of the locations specified by path.repo because this setting is empty"
}
],
"type" : "repository_exception",
"reason" : "[old_anthill_efk_nopci] failed to create repository",
"caused_by" : {
"type" : "repository_exception",
"reason" : "[old_anthill_efk_nopci] location [/opt/elasticsearch-backup/efk-anthill-nopci-14.03.2021] doesn't match any of the locations specified by path.repo because this setting is empty"
}
},
"status" : 500
}
Which is expected. But at least my request is correct.
