December 15, 20241 yr Alright, this one has my head scratching. On friday, i ran my weekly backup to my server that is only booted up to do a backup. I thought that a scheduled parity check just so happened to land on friday....that's fine, i'll just let it stay on for an extra 2 days while it does a check. I go to check on it today (should be done) and it says it just started. I look at the notification and says finished with zero errors....but it started another one and doesn't show the completed one in the history. I then check my scheduler settings and realize that i disabled scheduled parity checks. Hmm So now i'm thinking that for some reason it did an unclean shutdown previously and ran one on startup....but i'm not sure why it would have started another one. Any ideas backup-diagnostics-20241215-1235.zip
December 15, 20241 yr Community Expert The syslog contains: Dec 15 11:51:58 Backup emhttpd: unclean shutdown detected which is why the parity check is being run. The syslog starts from today which suggests the system might have rebooted itself. The syslog in the diagnostics is the RAM copy and only shows what happened since the reboot. It could be worth enabling the syslog server to get a log that survives a reboot so we can see what happened prior to the reboot. The mirror to flash option is the easiest to set up, but if you are worried about excessive wear on the flash drive you can put your server’s address into the Remote Server field.

Thats wild...i have no idea why it would have done an unclean restart..... I only turn this server on to do a backup then shutdown....i'll have to enable the syslog server and try to see whats up.
