    It is definitely a timeout as it's happening at precisely 4 hours (14400 seconds) every single time. Which timeout did you set to 21600 (6 hours)? Does this happen with the exact same backup every time on both servers or just any backup over 50GB? If the QNAP server uses an NFS filesystem (which many NAS systems use) there may be additional considerations for using them for backups as they're unsupported. This is noted in the backup configuration documentation as well: [QUOTE=https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/backup/backup-configuration/#configure-backup-directory]We strongly recommend that you do not perform backups to remote filesystems (for example, NFS, CIFS, smbfs, or other types of network drive systems). While you can back up directly to a remote filesystem, cPanel & WHM does not support this configuration. We strongly recommend that you work with a qualified system administrator to manage this custom backup path and avoid potential risks.

    Hi Lauren, Thank you for your reply. Yes it happens with the exactly same backups which are bigger than 50GB, I can't tell if it would happen with different files over 50GB because I don't have such files. Also the QNAP is using NFS as you have mentioned. If it's unsupported I would love to know what the actual problem is with files bigger than 50GB. I can scp and rsync the files no problem so what's different in WHM/cPanel backup? I am a sysadmin for this setup and can do adjustments but can not reformat the QNAP with different file system as there are other files and backups from other machines. So what are my options? Thank you
