System Integrity checking detected a modified system file

I receive the following information every few days. I know that lfd sends these messages when the DA is updated, but the DA isn't updated every few days.

The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparison test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:

/usr/bin/restic: FAILED
/bin/restic: FAILED

System change these files but why that often.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30871736 Sep 25 08:01 /bin/restic
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30871736 Sep 25 08:01 /usr/bin/restic

This usually isn't anything to worry about. It just means your system may have updated a few system files in the background and LFD hasn't caught up with it yet and is just warning you. I get those messages every now and again. Just issue these commands from the terminal and they should stop getting sent to you until anything else gets updated.

# csf -r
# systemctl restart lfd

If you are in any doubt though, this message tells you what files have changed so you can investigate.
