Description
When performing a “sync” operation on snapshots to a remote data volume, it might happen that one process is encountering an error. This will lead to hang of the sync process. As a result backups won’t be written.
Workaround
Restart the cluster.
If a cluster restart is not possible or desired please contact Exasol support to guide you through terminating the respective hanging process.
Fix
Writing backups works correctly in this scenario.
