Web Deploy ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE Azure Web App

I was writing this article where I was testing out how to backup my App Service from the Cloud Shell using BASH.  And I got this exception when I was publishing, Figure 1.

 
Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("***.scm.azurewebsites.net"). 
On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process 
("Web Management Service") is started.  Learn more at:

Figure 1, ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE publishing using MSDEPLOY Web Deploy from visual studio

Kind of makes sense that trying to publish while the site is being backed up may cause some contention.  Regardless, I checked the status of the backup and it was indeed in progress.  I waited until the backup was complete, attempted to republish and it worked fine.

Here is some good information abut Web Deploy error codes.
