Backup files incomplete

DG-Lt · February 28, 2024, 4:25pm

Hi,

Short description:
Samba backups of the past two weeks contain only 3 *.tar.gz files and no /backup.json (or many other files)
please help to resolve this

Longer version:
core-2024.1.5
supervisor-2024.02.0
Home Assistant OS 11.5
running on a laptop with Intel plus SSD.

Today I decided to run all the updates:

As usual I invoked the Manual Samba Backup and waited. After a few minutes I noticed it is done successfully. It raised suspicion because it was like 6 times quicker than usual.
I went to my NAS storage and saw a 12GB backup. seems normal.
went to HA->Settings->System->Backups and notice there are only older that 2 weeks backups visible. (see image)
then I look at the Supervisor logs and see errors:

24-02-28 17:42:58 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.backups.manager] Found 11 backup files

24-02-28 17:42:58 ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.backups.backup] Can't read backup tarfile /data/backup/c95b72f5.tar: "filename './backup.json' not found"

I download the backup from my NAS to my windows machine and open with 7zip. I see that the backup does not contain many of the Add-ons despite the fact that supervisor logs show everything have been backed up succesfully:

when I downloaded one of the 2 week old backups I see that it contains lots of files.
tried to do a full reboot (including the Host) and repeat the backup. Backup file still incomplete.
tried to invoke backup from HA backup page. Backup file still incomplete.
the storage seems to have plenty of free space.
when the last correct backup was made I was on vacation and no changes were made to the system.

Update.

noticed that a backup only contains first 3 add-ons as listed in the supervisor logs. and the last one that makes it to the backup is the InfluxDB.

Tried to create a Partial backup with all options selected except InfluxDB.

And the backup succeeded. I can see it in HA backups list, and it contains all of the rest files inside.

So the problem can be isolated to the backup process of the InfluxDB.

tried to create a backup with InfluxDB add-on stopped. it resulted in the incomplete backup file again…

Any suggestions?

I’ve got exactly the same issue from last few weeks when I do a full backup I don’t see on on HA console, but backup itself is being created on SMB share. In supervisor logs I see it cannot read them properly from some reason

Make a purge and repack on your database and then try again.

Be aware that the process can eat a lot of ram and disk space, especially with a large Influx database!
