Duplicati 2.2.0.3 running as Windows Service randomly pauses after 1–2 days, no errors in logs
Duplicati 2.2.0.3 running as Windows Service randomly pauses after 1–2 days, no errors in logs

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand if this is a bug or something specific to my setup.

Environment:

  • Windows 11 Pro

  • Duplicati 2.2.0.3_stable_2026-01-06

  • Running as Windows Service (Duplicati.WindowsService.exe)

  • Service startup type: Automatic

  • Desktop machine, no sleep, no hibernation

  • Not on battery

Issue:

Duplicati runs normally for about 1–2 days and then all scheduled backups stop executing.

The Windows Service remains in "Running" state.
There are no errors in the stored logs.
"unacked-error" and "unacked-warning" are both false.
"paused-until" is 0.

The UI shows the "Resume" button in the top right corner.
When I click Resume, everything starts working normally again for another 1–2 days, then it pauses again.

Important details:

  • This affects all backup jobs (Local, Google Drive, OneDrive).

  • No authentication issues.

  • No backend errors.

  • Happens on multiple machines (same version).

  • Fresh Windows installation.

  • Server-port-changed is marked as True in system settings.

  • No power management restrictions.

  • Not using pause on battery or time-based pause.

It looks like the internal scheduler is entering a paused state without logging an error.

Has anyone experienced this behavior on 2.2.x when running as a Windows Service?

Is this a known scheduler issue in the new 2.2 core?
Would deleting server.sqlite help?
Is running without Windows Service more stable in 2.2?

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks!
