Workaround:

A manual backup of the case can be run.

Resolution

Scheduled case backups in eDP run 3 concurrently by default.

Lowering concurrent backups to 1 at a time should resolve the issue.

This can be done with the following steps:

1.  Log into the eDP User Interface.
2.  System > Support Features
3.  Select Property Browser from the drop down.
4.  In Name of property to change put:
esa.jobmanager.type.CASE_BACKUP.nodeExecutionThrottle
5.  In New value (leave blank to remove) put:
1
6.  Hit Submit
7.  Restart the eDP services via Clearwell Utility option 3 and then 4.

Issue/Introduction

Running concurrent case backups in eDiscovery Platform(eDP) results in backups failing. An error will be presented stating that a connection to MySQL was lost.
