Hi everyone,
I’ve been using the Google Drive Backup add-on for a long time, but I rarely needed to use it for recovery. My Home Assistant OS runs in a Proxmox VM, and I used to rely on nightly VM snapshots instead.
Unfortunately, due to another issue I encountered (Recorder no longer writing data to the database), I decided to restore a previous backup this morning to try and fix things.
That’s when trouble started.
Since the VM I restored to was from a few days ago, it no longer had the latest HA backup locally. So I fell back on the Google Drive Backup add-on and downloaded a recent full backup from there.
During the restore process, Home Assistant crashed for some reason. And now, upon reboot, I’m being prompted to upload a backup to restore. I went ahead and uploaded the .tar backup file manually.
Here’s the weird part: Home Assistant correctly reads the backup file and lists all the add-ons and settings I can choose to restore… but when I try to proceed, I get this error:
Backup 931dbbc9 not found in agent hassio.local
I’m guessing the backup is there, but something is preventing the restore agent from finding or recognizing it.
So my question is: How can I force Home Assistant to restore this backup manually?
I know the file is valid since it detects the content properly.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!
