Bug Description
The backup application (GUI) failed a couple of hours into its first attempt to write to an external disk after I upgraded to 17.10. The failure is "Backup Failed: Failed with an unknown error" and the following details. Note that the machine has 20GB of RAM, and there is no sign of swap having been used.
