Draft — this is a structural skeleton, not documentation. Most pages are empty stubs listing what they will cover. Nothing here is finished, and some of it describes parts of Baseout that are not built yet.

A connection needs reconnecting

When a Source or Destination loses access, backups stop for every Space that uses it, and Baseout says so in the connection’s status, in a banner on each affected Space, and as an Inbox row. Nothing is backed up until it is reconnected.

This page will be the shortest route from that message to a working connection.

  • Where do I click to reconnect?
  • Do I lose the backups taken before it broke? (No.)
  • Are the runs missed while it was broken made up afterwards?
  • Why does this keep happening?
  • The banner is still there after I reconnected — what now?

Only the summary above. Overlaps deliberately with Reconnecting a broken connection — one of the two should be a redirect once the prose is written, and which one depends on how people arrive.
