Backup fails, but is successful, and isn't copied to external locations

Configuration

I have strange backup behaviour on one of my HA instances.

On the backup page, I get the strangest error message:

So, if I understand correctly, the backup failed but was successful?

Further, my list of backups show a number of backups, but I have to go four days back to find one that has been uploaded to the cloud:

I have tried browsing logs, but can’t find anything that makes me understand what is going on.

Any ideas?

Is there at least 1.4gb of space on the host and on the target drive?

Yes, there’s plenty of space on the ssd, and it looks like the backup is actually successful to the local storage. It’s the uploading to cloud that fails - that is at least what I’m guessing from the symbols on the list of backups (the error message is less than helpful…).

Your logs should have that information. Either supervisor or HA Core logs.

Thanks, @petro, I thought I would, but couldn’t find anything.

Anyway, after a restart (should have done that straight away, but I was too mystified as I tried backing up as part of the upgrade to 2026.1.1 - which wouldn’t go through since the backup “failed”), the backup is successful all around - even with upload to cloud (and the system is upgraded to 2026.1.1).

Sorry for the bother.
