Can't restore HA (Supervised) backup

Hello,

I had to do a new setup of HA, assuming that I would be able to restore my previously backup from before yesterday.

I now installed HAOS 15.0 in a Proxmox VM, the system is starting and greets me as expected. However, when trying to restore the system from a backup. I am getting an error message:

BackupManager.do_restore_partial’ blocked from execution, not enough free space (0.4GB) left on the device

The VM has 4 GB. I then increased this value to 6 GB but get the same error message. What am I doing wrong and does this possibly mean that all my configuration work has been lost?

The backup was created from a supervised installation. Hopefully this is not blocking the restore process, or is it?

Regards Johannes

The issue is not a damaged backup file but truly the available space:

The documentation says

If you are running Home Assistant as a VM, look at the documentation for your hypervisor on how to expand disks for virtual machines. Home Assistant will auto-expand to use the newly added space.

The VM says that 1.9 of 6.0 GB disk space is used. HA indicates 88.5% storage usage though, which refers to the initial 4 GB of the VM size.

OK, I was changing the RAM instead of the disk size. Increasing the latter to 12 GB resolves the issue. Probably not that much needed, but not a problem on a 2 TB SSD.

I could restore a full backup :+1:
