Hi, I have been trying for several days to configure swappable USB drive backups for my Proxmox server yet a few days after everything is configured and mounted the backup stops working and I cannot remount it anymore.
Can someone please provide me with the process of how this can be done?

the error I receive after a few days of it working is below :
ERROR: Backup of VM 101 failed - unable to create temporary directory '/mnt/usb-backup2/dump/vzdump-qemu-101-2023_05_04-00_00_04.tmp' at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump.pm line 930.

I have also tried to shell into the device and look inside the drive but the ls reponse is :
ls: reading directory '.': Input/output error

I tried to remount the drive manually and receive this error :
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
thanks,
