Mac Studio restarts unexpectedly whenever I leave it unattended for over 1 hour. I need it to remain on as I'm performing some lengthy backups, which keep stopping when it restarts.

How do i stop my Mac Studio from restarting every time I leave it unattended for an hour? I need it to run for longer periods of time for backup purposes, but every time I leave it unattended for an hour, it comes up with an error that it has restarted unexpectedly - and so I have to login again and restart any long running processes.

Any ideas? My software is all up to date, the mac is on my desk with plenty of ventilation so it's not overheating....

Thanks

Mac Studio, macOS 13.2

Kernel Panic Reports are stored at:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports


If you copy and paste that string into:

Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder


it will take you to where those reports are stored.


They are named with Date&Time and start or end in ‘panic’

If you find one, please post the entire report here, by using the “additional text” Icon in the reply footer (looks like a paper with writing).


Please don’t post more about 20 lines of any other types of reports — they are interminable, and any information useful for this purpose is on the first screenful.
