Arq backup is failing for me when trying to access ~/Library/Daemon Containers/F68D34A1-3EBA-4C03-B7FD-27B10C2BADE6/Data/com.apple.milod/milo.db-wal.

The weird thing is that Arq has full disk access and that this happens only when the computer is locked with a black screen.

What is milod? I can't find it with Google and also Llama3, Claude Sonnet 3.5 and GPT-4o all give different answers that seem the result of hallucinations.

Can you please check if you have the file milo.db-wal in the same or similar location? I am wondering if it's something new in Sequoia.

Thanks!
 
I forgot to mention that I tried to open the database with sqlite3 and it doesn't allow me due to permissions even if I do it with sudo.
 
With mdfind I found this

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.0.sdk/usr/share/man/man8/milod.8

So perhaps it's something to do with the command line tools but not sure if it's just a coincidence
 
Carbon Copy Cloner doesn't fail but logs this

Why is SIP preventing access to this file?
 
Yes, I have the com.apple.milod folder in similar location. There is also a milod process running in Activity Monitor.
15.0-beta (24A5279h)

Any idea of what it might be? It's weird that it only causes problems when the computer is locked
 
Maybee the process writes to the file when the computer is locked? I don´t know anything about programming, but you can open the file with a text editor and get some random keywords:

ULRapportMO ULOdometryMO ULModelMO ULMeasurementMO ULLoiMO< ULLoggedEventMO ULLabelMO ULHomeSlamAnalyticEventMO ULCustomLoiMO ULConfigurationMO ULBluetoothIdentityMO ULAssociatedStateMO

So connect the dots... A totally uneducated guess - something bluetooth with a motion sensor?
Maybe so the new head gestures for AirPods Pro will let you answer an incoming FaceTime call by nodding your head?
 
No idea, but I'm glad it's not just on my mac as I was starting to wonder if I had some kind of malware or something. Thanks for checking!
 
Going into Console and filtering by process:milod, looks like it’s related to Bluetooth and micro-location (“milod" is probably “micro-location daemon"). This entry seems to be my HomePod:

Thanks! I didn't think to check the console. I wonder why it's causing problems when the computer is locked if it's something related to BlueTooth. Super weird.
 
I can not add anything but a "same here". MacOS 15.0.1 (24A348) and Arq Version 7.33.1.
 
I'm having this same issue ever since getting a new Bluetooth keyboard.

Did they offer a solution, or you just added it to wildcard exclusions?
