Backup errors

Configuration
1

After I had a disk failure (a few months ago) and needed to get a restore (a few weeks ago), followed by a few config tweaks, etc, I managed to get home assistant workjng again.

But I noticed some errors in the supervisor log about backup.json missing from some of the backups, as per below messages. How can I get these errors resolved?

Details of my installation:

  • Installation method Home Assistant OS
  • Core 2026.8.1
  • Supervisor 2026.07.5
  • Operating System 18.1
  • Frontend 20260729.6

Do you have backups that were not stored on the corrupt disk?

Yes, I managed to complete the restore. And these errors are not related to any corrupt disk.

But I am just seeing these error messages, including in very recent backups, so (before any event where I may need to restore from them), I wanted to be able to confirm if they are red-herrings or anything that could cause issues when attempting a restore in the future.
