Solved Backup failed: EHOSTDOWN: host is down, mkdir

[jdaviescoates]

My backup failed with this error.

name: 'BoxError',
reason: 'External Error',
details: {},
message: 'EHOSTDOWN: host is down, mkdir'

What does it mean?

@jdaviescoates Looks like this might be coming from the CIFS mount for backups. Can you check if it's still mounted and working on the server?

It seems to be.

As in, I can cd into it fine.

BTW, I noticed that in my Backups setting on Cloudron I've got:

Provider: filesystem

I wonder if perhaps I should be using Provider: CIFS Mount instead? (it is indeed a CIFS mount)

@jdaviescoates you should probably use the cifs provider, since then at least the error message would be more obvious when not mounted
