Backups are screwy

I don’t understand the new backup process. I have it configured to retain backups for 14 days. And of course, it is scheduled for 4:45 am which is the ONLY time HA currently allows.

But it clearly is not following my settings. Today is 2/5. So I would expect my oldest backups to be from 1/22. But I still have daily backups dating back to 1/17. And the Created Dates on the backups are sometimes as late as 5:42 am. It takes a few minutes to create a back up - Why are these times so late?

This whole thing feels half baked. Like they wanted to have something new and shiny to show off for the new year, and rushed to get something out there.

Do a bit of searching and read existing topics - there are quite some topics about this, and there are also some topics about changes preparing in 2025.02 update (read 2025.02 beta topic).
So, patience…

I’m pretty sure 2025.01 was a beta :slight_smile:

Well… perhaps not beta, but it was published something entirely new without asking users for opinion, which is wrong…
