Why Does Automated Backup Fail?

Automated backups may fail for the following reasons:

  • The network environment may be unstable due to problems such as network delay or interruptions.

    If the system detects any of these problems, it triggers another automated backup half an hour later. Alternatively, you can perform a manual backup immediately.

  • If multiple tasks are being executed simultaneously, there can be problems such as excessive task wait times or interruptions.

    If the system detects any of these problems, it triggers another automated backup half an hour later. Alternatively, you can perform a manual backup immediately.

  • The DB instance is abnormal probably because it is faulty or being modified.

    If the system detects any of these problems, it triggers another automated backup half an hour later. Alternatively, you can perform a manual backup immediately.

  • The backup speed depends on how many tables there are in the databases.

    If there are more than 500,000 tables, the backup will fail.

  • A parameter change was incorrect.

    If your instance becomes faulty after you modify parameters of a parameter template and apply the template to the instance, check whether the modified parameters are set to correct values and whether there are any associated parameters that need to be changed, or reset the parameters to their defaults and reboot the instance.

  • If the problem persists, contact customer service.
