Tableau server backup is failing due to AccessDeniedException.
I have enough of storage with me i.e. around 109 GB is free
also I checked the directory permission i.e. service account is having full control on the tableau directories.
Error is given below in details.

Hi All,
Found out the resolution on the issue which is given below.
This job failed due to unexpected error: 'AccessDeniedException'
java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: D:\Tableau\data\tabsvc\tabadmincontroller\0\backup_staging\manifest.yml
- Remove the folder 0 as it is temporary folder generated during the backup creation
- Also check if the network service access has been removed from all the directory's in the tableau server installation folder.
- Network service access permission removal is the main root cause of the issue.
Thanks,
