Where do I see this backup file? I can't find it in the file app

DeletedUser382 files>three dots on top right side>show hidden files. Then go to the files menu (menu in top left side) and click on your Phone (in my case Pixel 6a) and scroll to find a folder titled seedvault Android backup or something similar.

Morte Thanks. I also wiped it. It failed and then it seems to have worked. I will try again later in the week to be sure.

TLDR:

disable APK backup in Backup Expert Settings
clear large apps' caches

Apologies for digging out half year post. Had/have similar issue on Pixel 7 with backing up to USB-C.

I have "Backup my apps" enabled. I noticed that Seedvault keep crashing when backing up APK for App_1, I force stopped app, then it kept crashing on APK for App_2. In both cases it was after some timeout (1 minute?). Looks like Seedvault can't get a lock (or terminate apps) on those APKs.

In Settings > System > Backup >3 dots (upper-right) > Expert Settings > Disable APK Backup

It got better, but started crashing on backing up App_3 data. That app had over 1GB of cache. After clearing cache there it finally worked to the end.

Findings:

lock timeouts on APK are incorrectly reported as WiFi/mobile errors
Seedvault backs up apps cache - IMO not needed
Seedvault times out on long I/O ops and always reports as WiFi/mobile errors

"correlation does not imply causation" - have you checked the SV code?

Alternatively exclude trouble making apps from backup:
Settings > System > Backup > App backup: Backup status > 3 dots > check Exclude apps
