Hi Suman,
According to your description, you get the above when executing cube sychronization. RIight?
Based on your error message, it fails when dong backup for the source server. In this scenario, please check if the destination server has administrator rights on the source database. Since the destination server execute synchronize commands under its service
account, otherwise it will fail, if you use a windows authentication, you should run SSAS under this windows account on your destincation server, and you need to grant administrator rights on the source database.
