My question is in the last line of this email.

I was having errors backing up, so I decided to start with a fresh, empty /var/lib/BackupPC , and started a manual full backup. Afterwards, I was able to access various backup files, as a sanity check.  Also ...

The server log file looks good:

2021-11-01 22:24:50 User backuppc requested backup ofmelodic  
<http://localhost/backuppc?host=melodic>  (melodic  
<http://localhost/backuppc?host=melodic>)
2021-11-01 22:24:51 Started full backup onmelodic  
<http://localhost/backuppc?host=melodic>  (pid=14098, share=/)
2021-11-01 22:24:52 Started full backup onmelodic  
<http://localhost/backuppc?host=melodic>  (pid=14098, share=/home)
2021-11-01 22:55:52 Finished full backup onmelodic  
<http://localhost/backuppc?host=melodic>

The host log file looks good:

2021-11-01 22:24:51 full backup started for directory /
2021-11-01 22:24:52 full backup started for directory /home
2021-11-01 22:55:35 full backup 0 complete, 20167 files, 5521522076 bytes, 0 
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)

The server Status page looks good (no running jobs).

The server Host Summary page has an idle entry:

idle

This idle entry looks suspicious to me. Is this something I can ignore?
