BA7047: Could not list cloud backups

Error code Product Applies to
BA7047 BackupAssist For BackupAssist 15.0.2 or later.

Description

BackupAssist lists the existing backups in the cloud container to manage retention, compile usage figures, and present restore points. BA7047 is a warning recorded when that listing could not be completed for this run.

It is usually caused by a transient loss of connectivity to the cloud provider, provider rate-limiting, or an access-permission problem with the container. The backup data itself is not affected.

Resolution

Run the job again, or wait for the next scheduled backup. Ensure the machine has a stable connection to the cloud provider.

Resolution 2 - Check credentials and permissions

Confirm the cloud storage credentials and permissions for the destination are still valid and allow listing the container's contents.

Resolution 3 - If it persists

If BA7047 recurs, generate diagnostics and contact support - BackupAssist Support page.

Note on the backup report

The backup report shows: Could not list cloud backups.
