A
SQL Server backup timeout problem in Microsoft SQL Server usually occurs due to heavy server load, large database size, network latency, or insufficient disk I/O performance. First, check SQL Server logs and Windows Event Viewer for errors. Ensure enough disk space is available and the backup drive has proper write permissions. You can increase the remote query timeout using sp_configure or adjust the backup timeout in SQL Server Agent job settings. Also, verify that no long-running transactions are blocking the backup process.
