Homelab Hero · No. 002 · Your result

Exactly right. The box pings and the dashboard loads, so the target is alive — something on the path is dropping the backup traffic, and Friday's rework is the only change. The firewall logs name the port and the rule. One fix, the backup re-runs, and Friday's intentional changes stay in place.

The lesson: The logs already know. Ask them before you move anything.
