Briefly, this error occurs when a snapshot, which is a backup of an Elasticsearch index, is deleted. This could be due to manual deletion, a script, or a policy that automatically deletes old snapshots. To resolve this, ensure that snapshots are not being deleted unintentionally. If it’s a script or policy, adjust it to prevent unwanted deletions. If the snapshot is needed, restore it from a backup if available.
