The status of my backup is "unlinked" - how to relink?

During my backup, my device became "unlinked" but still seems to have backed up. Here is a screenshot. I don't see any options in the 3 dots other than download or delete. How to "relink"?

Yes it's the bedroom PC, disregard the other one.

    Thanks for the info, Marc von Amsberg.

    Does the Dropbox application on that computer sync files as normal?

    What do you see about your backups when you click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray?

    And are all the entries about the backup in your first screenshot referring to that PC?
