That would seem to indicate that somebody is pressing the backup button, and you either have no tasks assigned to it or one of the backup jobs configured for it has become obsolete (like by removing a share) but the job somehow wasn't removed (as it should be when you delete a share).

Have you checked the log for more details?

Just checked the logfiles. There were two errors two days ago, backup mistake due to usb hdd without access to the files. Restarting the nas solved the problem. Not sure if this relates top the recent backup button problem.

Did you have any backups tied to the backup button? If so, I think that will stop the messages. But whether your button is really being pressed, or worse, the hardware thinks it is when it's not, will be determined by whether or not a backup now takes place based on that "button push".

  Yep, I had a two backup jobs tied to the button, but that was at least one year ago. What do you mean with " If so, I think that will stop the messages." ? Recently no backup takes place by using the button. My backup plan is based on a backup schedule only.

    Perhaps create a dummy backup job (that backs up a share to a non-existent device), and tie that to the backup button. Then see if the error disappears.
