# `/sys/plugins/reload/backend`
The `/sys/plugins/reload/backend` endpoint is used to reload mounted plugin
backends. Either the plugin name (`plugin`) or the desired plugin backend mounts
(`mounts`) must be provided, but not both. In the case that the plugin name is
provided, all mounted paths that use that plugin backend will be reloaded.
## Reload Plugins
This endpoint reloads mounted plugin backends.
