So, how the hell do I get out of this backup cycle and kill that process?
I can understand checking that this is what you want to do, but actively preventing a reboot because an upload is stuck is not logical
Yeah, that didn’t work. Eventually got it to restart through the terminal, but you really should be able to a) cancel a backup and b) force a restart through the UI
I found have the same problem, its been running for days, finally had time to look and found this post
Was going to reboot the devise but started with this
ha supervisor restart
that fixed it for me, ran another backup and it appears fine
strangely it was only causing problems accessing add-ons, and pushing an update to a device
The same symptoms for me. The nightly backup on June 9th apparently got stuck, the next nightly backup on 10th did not happen, and the history from devices was not recorded before reboot:
I have also been having this problem since April. I’ve been running in a guest VM (to avoid issues with power etc), but that seems to not be enough. I have had to force destroy the VM to “reboot”, and the back ups NEVER complete. There hasn’t been a successfully completed back up in almost two months. I’m trying to move to a dedicated RPi5 to see if that helps, but now I’m getting an error 500 from the RPi5 trying to upload the TAR.
