Briefly, this error occurs when you attempt to create a new Elasticsearch snapshot with a name that is already being used by an ongoing snapshot operation. Elasticsearch doesn’t allow two snapshots with the same name to run concurrently. To resolve this issue, you can either wait for the current snapshot operation to complete before starting a new one, or you can use a different name for the new snapshot. It’s also recommended to check the status of your snapshots regularly to avoid such conflicts.
