How do I get the service up and running again?

Check your /etc/fstab and disk mounts: it seems your backup disk wasn’t mounted at boot time.

If you followed the procedure documented at Backup and restore — NS8 documentation check if the configured disk is still attached, for instance:

lsblk

You are right, the backup disk was not mounted, that was the problem.
Now everything is working again.

Thank you very much for your quick help.

Did you also check if the disk is mounted after a reboot?

I have just seen that Rocky Linux 9.4 is displayed for update. I took the opportunity to update and then reboot. That was a double thrill to see if everything would work afterwards.

After a restart, everything looks good so far and the rclone-webdav.service is also running, I hope it stays that way.
