I suppose it depends what "idle" signifies. From your response (thank
you), I understand that "idle" is the correct state for the system to be
in i.e. it does not signify a process that is waiting to complete
something it is currently unable to complete.

What seems suspicious to you about it? It's not currently in the
process of backing up files or doing anything with the host right this
minute; it is idle.

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

2021-11-01 22:24:52 Started full backup onmelodic

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

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:

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