Cause

Wrong permissions on  /etc/sysconfig/network/routes file.

Resolution

1. Ssh to the appliance and login using the rsadmin account 
2.  Run the below commands to give the default permissions to routes file and if-route-eth0 file. 

Sudo chmod  644  /etc/sysconfig/network/routes 
Sudo chmod  644  /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-eth0

       3.  Take the backup again and it should be completed successfully.
