### Backup fails to complete with Gzip error
While running the backup, you may receive a gzip error:
```sh
sudo /opt/gitlab/bin/gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create
Dumping ...
...
gzip: stdout: Input/output error
Backup failed
```
If this happens, check the following:
1. Confirm there is sufficent diskspace for the gzip operation.
1. If NFS is being used, check if the mount option `timeo` is set. The default is `600`, and changing this to smaller values have resulted in this error.
