[SalesForce] Dashboards failed to deploy using outbound changeset

Pre-requisites already deployed:

  1. Reports & Dashboards Folders
  2. Custom Report Types
  3. Reports

When uploading Dashboards I get this unhelpful error :

Your upload failed. We're sending you an e-mail with more
information.

Unhelpful email given :

The following outbound change set upload failed due to a system error:

Change set: … Organization: …
(Developer Sandbox) User: … Error Number: 674932773-56394 (245827274)

Please try to upload your change set again. If it does not succeed,
contact Customer Support and provide the error number listed above.

Thank You, salesforce.com

What am I missing? How do I get around this issue?

Salesforce is buggy.

You have to check each Dashboard for any report(s) that cannot be displayed.

Cannot be displayed meaning it had Error :

Error: The source report isn't available; it's been deleted or isn't in a folder accessible to the dashboard's running user.

In that case you need to :

  1. Delete the report of the dashboard component
  2. Re-enter the report back to the dashboard component

Such an easy fix right? Took a whole day to find that out -_-

Once all reports can be seen in the dashboard. Deployment will be successful.
