Hello Alexander,
You are right. The FQDN was the culprit. Once I entered the FQDN in
/etc/hosts file, the problem got resolved.
Thanks for your guidance.
By the way any document that explains what is --restore-permissions in
engine-backup process?

Thanks & Regards,

It is highly likely 1 of 2 things:
1. The entropy mentioned by Brett, however that is mostly
applicable on hosted
engine as VMs don't usually have good entropy.
2. The engine cannot resolve itself (which looking at your
description is the
likely culprit). Since you don't have DNS, you need to add the fqdn to
/etc/hosts so it can resolve itself.
