Hi, that's strange. I don't see anything obvious here. Is there anything in windows event viewer related to it? If the server is crashing then there usually will be something there.

Just a guess since the log appear to die with the Backup & Restore plugin process if you remove the plugin does the issue still happen?

@Lukeis this a core plugin now? If so it would need removed from \system\plugins and \programdata\plugins

Also looking at that log why would do a copy of people then try to delete or just a coincedence of where is crashed?

It is but you can uninstall via the UI if desired.

if you enable a directory to be included in the backup, then later disable it, the backup process will clean out the folder that was disabled from the backup.

would you recommend a full reinstall of windows 11???

No. No one should ever recommend this.

 

 

I don't understand why so many people jump from a minor issue to 'reinstall the entire OS'. That may or may not fix your immediate issue, but is a huge amount of unnecessary work and provides absolutely 0 information to be able to actually resolve whatever caused your problem. (while also destroying any info that could be useful to resolve it)

 

It's the equivalent of getting a flat tire and immediately scrapping the car. A new car won't help if you just drive over the same pile of nails and broken glass.... Look for and fix the actual issue.

It has a new name now Backup & Restore.  I would test uninstalling that one and see if you still have an issue.

I have examined this folder 
D:\Emby\embyserver-backup-full\metadata\people\ \ \ \ Backup & Restore has created over 200 empty folders with no name 
therefore it shuts down I have now formatted that drive as it was not possible to delete folder no matter what i did. 
I have now deleted Backup & Restore and 
everything works fine again thanks for the help.
