This is the important part. It’s broken.
I am finding that backups complete successfully when backup up to system storage, but then when downloading the backup, manual or automatic, the the backup download fails after about a minute.
I have tried different combinations but still the download of the backup to my local machine fails
Any ideas?
I’ve seen others with this issue, I do not have the issue and I use both the addon and the new automatic methods. It’s likely that the 2 automated methods are stepping on each others toes. I recommend using different folders for each system.
I am trying to download the backup from system to another location completely but it fails during download.
I dont know how else I can try and download the backup so that I can keep it in a different location, as well as system.
Thanks
From OP: I do not use the add-on, only the out of the box backup features, with no Automations defined. Plain, vanilla samba Storage entry with new 25.1.0 Backup config. Zero 3rd party, zero modification, zero custom anything.
sorry, I may have miss-read the thread then.
I was receiving an insecure download message when trying to download any of the backups to my local laptop. To resolve I needed to change my Chrome settings to allow it (using my local, insecure http: URL:
- Click on the “Not Secure” triangle to the left of the http://homeassistant URL
- Select “Site Settings” from the drop-down
- Change the “Insecure content” option from “Block” to “Allow”.
