Suddenly, starting yesterday, my backup are no longer being uploaded to Dropbox. I get the following message for all sites that I have tried:

Could not create directory Bartwebsites Backups. 6: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: api.dropboxapi.com
Failed to process file /home2/mcc/site-MILNERTON-20190401-082847.jpa
Post-processing interrupted -- no more files will be transferred

Hello,

this means that your machine can't resolve the IP address of Dropbox. This is something affecting your server and we (you and us) can't do anything about it. Most likely it's just a temporary issue and it should solve by itself.
