Public bug reported:
Half a year ago I upgraded our NAS with a different server and
subsequently changed all our Linux desktops to back up to the new
destination. Except one which I forgot. Since deja-dup never complained
on this machine, the respective user also didn't complain and simply
assumed everything was OK. So we lost half a year of backup security;
luckily, the machine did not die.
Deja-dup should show an error message if the SMB target is not available
at backup time - it did not do this here, it just failed silently. This
is OK if one backup fails because the network is out, but if multiple
backups (or a repeated attempt) fail it should definitely complain.
