If a full backup does not complete, start with the basics:
- Check available disk space and account quota.
- Confirm the selected remote destination is reachable when using FTP or SCP.
- Verify remote credentials and destination path.
- Avoid launching multiple large backup jobs simultaneously.
- Try Home Directory as a simpler destination when diagnosing a remote-transfer problem.
A failed remote transfer and a failed local archive creation are different problems. Separate the backup creation step from the remote-storage step when troubleshooting.
