My NAS is not running the whole time and at the moment i am doing my backups manually. It would be great to keep track of successfull backups done to my nas even if it’s offline. Already mentioned that at https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/discussions/17343
Successfull backups should show up in the backup menu, maybe with an additional icon or info that the backup location is offline.
One possible solution would be to create an additional sensor which keeps track of it with the name of the backup’s.
Another one would be to create a new database table where backups are logged with name, date and target, maybe size too.
+1 on this. I was doing my monthly backup check, and while I saw my nightly config backup from this AM, I also noticed HA had accumulated a lot of backups on the SMB share used for backups. I figured I’d do a bit of cleanup from the HA Backups management - which said “You don’t have any backups yet.”
This is at best an unnecessarily alarming message, since the backups are in fact happening. In addition, it is far easier to decide which backups to prune if you know what generated them. Configuring the backups has parity between local and SMB, so we should have the same parity in reporting.
Is there any way to detect, or more specifically trigger an automation when network storage is offline? “Home Assistant Supervisor Could not connect to sharename”
I get a notification under Settings but I don’t see it in the logs and can’t seem to find a device or entity I can use to trigger.
I’d like to be able to send a WoL to my NAS and reboot HA to get storage re-connected when/if it’s offline.
