Nightly backup fails

Hi!

We are using discourse_docker with Discourse v2.2.0.beta10 +6

Our nightly backup has failed a couple of times during the last month.
The log says:

Seems like it fails to archive (tar) the backups? But it doesn’t say why.

Upgrading should fix it. I recommend you do a rebuild on the console:

./launcher rebuild app
