My Source Site is Team Site and Destination site is blank site

My Web.Config:

Typically this issue occurs when you have a large amount of content for export. In this case, if you increase the RemoteTimeOut value on the exporting server will help. By default, that value is 10, but MSFT recommended to increase it up to 1 hours.

here is PowerShell for it.

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c")
$SharePointContentDeployment = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Administration.ContentDeploymentConfiguration]::GetInstance()
$SharePointContentDeployment.RemoteTimeout = 3600
$SharePointContentDeployment.Update()
