Cloudron Forum

@nebulon all good, thank you.
I also tried systemctl restart mnt-cloudronbackup.mount, wasn't working too.

I now tried again a ssh connection from the cloudron server to the backup server with the privkey, it did not work.
Both on the cloudron and on the backup server the rights seemed to have changed for the .ssh directories. Everything else was configured as before.

Now the backups are working again, but I remain clueless why this happened.

Thank you @nebulon for your help and excellent response time!

@nebulon the server has no systemd unit file at /etc/systemd/system/mnt-cloudronbackup.mount and it does not show up in the df output.

If I remove the directory, set local backup, and reconfigure SSHFS:

• I get a systemd unit file at /etc/systemd/system/mnt-cloudronbackup.mount
  Content of mnt-cloudronbackup.mount:

• df shows no mount

• systemd restart mnt-cloudronbackup says "Excess arguments."

Hi,
sadly today after installing the version 6.3.6 update the SSHFS backup stopped working again.

To get SSHFS to work with prior 6.3.5 versions i had use a workaround already.
With version 6.3.5 I needed to revert all changes that I had made to get SSHFS working again.
Now with version 6.3.6 it's not working again as it won't mount the directory.

I removed the directory, changed the backup to local, changed the backup back to SSHFS so it will create a new folder and mountpoint. Everything seems to be fine until the backup begins.
