13.9 Backup problems

13.9.1 Symptom

ownsona-backup.service timer fires but no file lands in /mnt/backups/.

13.9.2 Diagnosis

sudo tail -100 /var/log/ownsona-backup.log
mountpoint /mnt/backups       # is the bucket mounted?
sudo /etc/mount-s3fs           # remount if not

If s3fs fails to mount, the credentials in /etc/passwd-s3fs are wrong, the bucket name is wrong, or the IAM user lacks s3:GetObject/s3:PutObject/s3:ListBucket.
