You are attempting to back up the data store. This process could take a long time, depending on the size of your data. Please do not interrupt the process once it has started.

Do you want to continue (Yes or No)?y

Error encountered: Machine 'https://xyz:2443/arcgis/datastoreadmin' returned an error. 'Backup on data store machine 'xyz' failed.
Caused by: Timeout error on tile cache data store.'

Yes we have scenes stored in tilcecache datastore sized over 7 gb.

And I confirm that service account has write access to this location. I am creating webgisdr exports to the same location without any error.

That's all good info.  Can I ask if the tile cache is actually used, or are you just being belt and braces.  Very few of my clients are actually using Scenes, and therefore backing up the tile cache datastore (for most) is irrelevant?

For that reason, I may not be able to go much further.

I suppose one question to ask is, does the service account that that the ArcGIS Datastore runs under have permissions to write to the Network File Share?  The speed of failure suggests it could be trying to connect and being rejected?

Hello @Scott_Tansley

Thank you for your quick reply.

The P: is local drive and contains 7.29 GB of data.

The backup location is network file share.

The virtual servers are located on customers on premise data center. And I don't think there is an IOPs limitation

Timeout error happened within about two minute.

Actually I get this error during webgisdr export. then try manually backup.

I can create webgisdr backup successfully without tilecache, but it fails on tilecache backup if I include tilecache in webgisdr.
