Thank you for the answer, but may I know why? What is the reason behind this?

thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I just started experimenting with the cool snapshot feature of ES (using ES 
1.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04) using curator. I created a new repository on a mounted 
NFS storage, using only the default options (compression turned on). I checked 
it using curl:

user@myserver:~# curl -XGET 'http://IP_ADDRESS:9200/_snapshot/logBack?pretty'
{
  "logBack" : {
    "type" : "fs",
    "settings" : {
      "compress" : "true",
      "location" : "/es_snapshots"
    }
  }
}

So, after that I used curator to create a snapshot of some older indices. The 
process finished after some minutes, so I decided to have a look at the files 
it created. It turned out that the snapshot's files take up exactly as much 
space as the indices did originally while they were in the cluster, so no 
compression happened at all. This is kind of a problem for me, because I 
assumed that compression will greatly reduce the size of the indices I put in a 
snapshot. So is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,
Domonkos
