Backup stuck, no way to restart?

This has been stuck like this for 2 days now.
I thought I’d leave it and see what happens but it hasn’t shifted

So went to restart and it won’t let me until the backup finishes (which I’m confident isn’t going to happen!)

It also won’t let me reboot

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

Have you tried refreshing the browser cache? CTRL-F5 should do it.

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

I’ve been having this EXACT same issue and it’s been driving me nuts. Restarting the supervisor/OS doesn’t help.

Any solution? Inhave the Same Problem

Best regards

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:

My backups are saved locally and to GoogleDrive.

I was not able to reboot from the UI, but was able to

$ ssh -l root homeassistant.local
[core-ssh ~]$ reboot

The processes before reboot looked like this:

[core-ssh ~]$ ps -ef f

Same hrere.

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.
