Backup stopped working

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi community,

for quite some time now i used the Samba Backup Addon to backup my HA on a daily basis and mirror the backup to my Synology DS. Some days ago it suddenly stopped working and I can’t figure out, why. As manual Backups via HA UI (Configuration > Backups > Create Backup) and also via Terminal (ha backups new) don’t work, I think I might have an issue with the filesystem / the database (see logs below. Over the weekend (just before the backups stopped working) I added some new Zigbee-Devices and activated the energy dashboard.

Hi,

Were you able to resolve this issue?.

I seem to face the same issue - unable to make a backup, Supervisor logging: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/data/homeassistant/zigbee.db-journal’

Hi Kristian,
thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I didn’t find a solution. But I noticed that the automated samba backup works some days. Why? I don’t know, but at least I have a backup every few days and I didn’t get the time to find a real solution yet. If you do, please keep us updated, thanks!! :slight_smile:

Hi, for me, backup stopped working after upgrading to version core-2022.3.7. I am currently upgrading to Rasperry Pi 4 (from 3), but is stuck until my backup works - unless I redo all the current configurations which is a daunting task… I don’t know if it is a general bug in 2022.3.7+ or the issue is related to installed plugins/Zigbee Coordinater device/??? but for sure it’s annoying.

You can just copy the entire contents of your /config folder (including the hidden .storage folder) to your new system. You would then only have to install and set up any addons you use. Copying the configs from these to a text file before updating would make this easier.

You should also post in the samba backup topic. The dev responds to issues there.
