Backup REST services failing

Question

I am trying to schedule a backup of the REST services.

So, I am running the script with Admin credentials on CMD window:

C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.8\python.exe "D:\ArcGIS\Server	ools\admin\backup.py" -u xyz -p xyz -s https://xyz/rest/services -f "D:\GIS_Data\backup

but I get this error

I double checked the credentials and the server url and are correct.

I am aware that I can back up the REST directories by using the

https://xyz/admin/exportSite

and just define the destination, but I need to schedule the task.

Ideas?

Thanks.

Standalone.

No, this the first time I am trying this script from:

Is this a standalone ArcGIS Server or part of a Portal?

Did you ever try this script in an earlier version of ArcGIS?
