BACKUP TO GCP Error time out

Hi Guys!

Im doing every day backups to GCP. I was doing it for a long time, but in the last week it started failing all the time, in deferents moment of the backup, it failed after 5,20,45 minutes and so one.

The error that i got:

Leaf Error (127.0.0.1:3307): Backup subprocess nonzero exit value. 408 Request Timeout

I restarted my VM just in case, and also memory and CPU are ok all the time.

MEMSQL Version: 7.3.3 Cluster in a box
Example:

113506922248 2021-08-10 19:02:45.290 DETAIL: Calling backup with: backup/backup --storage-type gcs --target XXX/backups/db/2021-08-10/XXXX.backup/BACKUP_INCOMPLETE

Its possible your encountering an issue related to:

That problem was fixed in 7.5 and we are looking into backporting the fix into a 7.3 patch release in the next few weeks.

NTP is not the issue, I have more than 1 DB and all the rest are working ok. Can be a problem in a specific DB?

The problem I linked is not related to NTP (though the error message may make you believe that). It was an issue in the client library we were using internally to upload files to GCP that impacted larger databases (that look longer then ~15 minutes to backup).
