Hi Vladimir Backups are an intensive and time taking process and proxies usually run into timeout issues during the process. There are two workarounds for this, * Initiate backup directly from tomcat connector and not from proxy. As our documentation states,For example, your URL might may normally be something like http://.com. To bypass this and access Tomcat directly, use this URL: http://localhost:8090/confluence/admin/backup.action. directly from your server. * Increase the timeout setting of proxy. Cheers, Hassan
