Looking at your log, you create a 1.5 Gb archive and you're trying to upload it in one shot.
Unless you have a super fast connection, you'll get a timeout during the upload process.

Please set a part size of 300Mb and try again.

Hi David,

thank you very for your reply.
It works well. You are very helpful.

First I tried with 300 MB for each part.
Now I am working with 500 MB. It is less files.

You know, I did not think that it was the problem. Right I am using Google Drive to upload my backups. It works well with 1.5 GB.

I am going to work with Infomaniak now.

Anyway thank for your professionalism and your reactivity. I appreciate them.

You can close the ticket.

Take care in these difficult times for everyone.
Sincerely
Amar Guillen

Thank you very much!

Google Drive (as well as other cloud service provider like Dropbox, Amazon S3 etc etc) offers an advanced upload method called "Multipart upload": we can upload small chunks of the file, then the remote service will reassemble them all to recreate the original file, in this way you can upload very large files.

WebDAV, on the other hand, is way more simple: it reads the whole file and uploads it in one shot, so you have to be more wise on choosing your part size.
