Hello @rbhowmik-sds.

The error on dashboard does not give all the details, would recommend checking inside executor-svc logs to understand what was the failure.

I am not sure about your environment and if you have other policies working and if snapshot is working on your cluster, but would be good if you use K10 primer to check the snapshot capabilities on your cluster:

curl https://docs.kasten.io/tools/k10_primer.sh | bash

More information: https://docs.kasten.io/latest/install/requirements.html#pre-flight-checks

Regarding MySQL, would recommend following our docs for testing MySQL backup with blueprints, there is a blueprint template for MySQL: https://docs.kasten.io/latest/kanister/mysql/install.html

Note that this blueprint is a template to be used to test the MySQL logical backup and was designed to work with the helm chart version in the docs, if you are using a different chart the blueprint might need to be adapted.

Hope it helps.
