Hello @SHARMG51,

The cbbackup it is a shell wrapper script as a result calling it via python3 will not work as it’s not a python script.

The correct way to call cbbackup is directly:

$ /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackup

For more information please see the documentation

That being said I see that you’re using the Enterprise version of Couchbase Server, for that edition we recommend using cbbackupmgr.
