WebDR Backup Failure

[WilliamOrr]

I am receiving the following error when attempting to make a 1st full back up of a new portal:

"Failed to back up the Portal for ArcGIS:
Url: <snip>.
{"error":{"code":500,"details":null,"message":"Failed to export site. Export of the Portal repository failed. \\\\<snip>\\SiteConfig\\Portal\\arcgisportal\\content\\items\\499b99ace8a74a15bd0e29a591ac016a is not the sub directory of the directory //<snip>/SiteConfig/Portal/arcgisportal/content"}}"

The above content item does exist.

Thanks in advance.

First, the error you're seeing is a bug:

BUG-000116405 : Portal for ArcGIS export site operation fails if the content directory path syntax utilizes forward slashes instead of back slashes

Update the content directory to use backslashes instead of forward slashes. Be sure to escape each backslash, ex:

C:\arcgisportal\content would be C:\\arcgisportal\\content

Next, if that item doesn't exist, you'll need to create the folder manually.

Thank you for the quick response.

Changing the content folder to a local drive fixed that problem. Unfortunately the DR tool then reports the following:

The above named file does not exist. Service accounts & backup user both have write access to destination folder.

Sorry, what i meant was that the content directory in Portal should be modified to switch all forwrad slashes to double back slashes:

//<snip>/SiteConfig/Portal/arcgisportal/content should be changed to \\\\<snip>\\SiteConfig\\Portal\\arcgisportal\\content within Portaladmin:

I am having the same error.  Everything has been backing up just fine since August. But now today nothing will back up. I've also checked and I have the correct // in PortalAdmin.  I've checked permissions... everything seems fine.  Any other ideas on where I should investigate why this suddenly stopped working?

Thank you

We are also experiencing the sleep interrupted error from the datastore.  The regularly scheduled datastore backups are completing successfully, but not working with the WebGISdr tool.
