Did it work?
Nope I’m still getting the error and the automaton does not work with
2022.9.1
Did you get to the bottom of this? I’m hesitant to update HA. I do notice, though, that the screenshot above mentions hassio.snapshot_full
, which has been renamed to hassio.backup_full
. Could it be that you are running an old version of the Blueprint?
I disabled the automation and was going to check back this week. Was hoping for some activity on here.
Can you check your blueprint code for the above?
Hello,
i have also problems with Backup. The Service backup.create cant be found.
I use the default Blueprint:
blueprint:
name: Automated Daily Snapshot for Container/Core
description: Create a snapshot backup at a given time every day.
domain: automation
input:
trigger_time:
name: Snapshot creation time
description: The snapshot will be created at this time, every day
selector:
time:
send_notification:
name: Send notification
description: Sends a notification to a device if enabled
selector:
boolean:
default: false
notify_device:
name: Device to notify
description: Device needs to run the official Home Assistant app to receive notifications
selector:
device:
integration: mobile_app
default: ""
homeassistant:
min_version: "2022.5.0"
mode: single
max_exceeded: silent
variables:
send_notification: !input send_notification
notify_device: !input notify_device
notification_title: Automated Daily Backup
notification_message: "Home Assistant full backup created. {{ now().strftime('%F') }}"
trigger:
- platform: time
at: !input trigger_time
action:
- service: backup.create
- if: "{{ send_notification }}"
then:
- device_id: !input notify_device
domain: mobile_app
type: notify
title: "{{ notification_title }}"
message: "{{ notification_message }}"
I get the error Message in home-assistant.log
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.automated_daily_snapshot_for_container_core] Automated Daily Snapshot for Container/Core: Error executing script. Service not found for call_service at pos 1: Unable to find service backup.create
Available Backup services are hassio.backup_partial and hassio.backup_full.
But the service should be available Backup - Home Assistant
My System is
Home Assistant 2022.9.6 Supervisor 2022.09.1 Operating System 9.0 Frontend 20220907.2 - latest x64
Unfortunately, the docs often aren’t up to date. Available services can be checked in Developer Tools —> Services. You have to edit your automation action by replacing the outdated service with service: hassio.backup_full
Hi all,
Can the Blueprint be updated? Snapshot is updated to Backup
Services needs to be updated from hassio.snapshot_full to hassio.backup_full
See this update
Thanks!
On my system, the blueprint is at config/blueprints/automation/vorion/
So should just update the YAML for the blueprint to
service: hassio.backup_full?
I believe that should do it, yes.
Just to confirm that works!
Hello Vorion,
Can you change hassio.snapshot_full into hassio.backup_full ?
I’ve got an error: Unable to find service hassio.snapshot_full
It was change long time ago.
Thanks
Good to hear.
There is another blueprint that doesn’t require it to be edited to perform a backup.

@troy
can you share the backup automation
I have switched to truenas scale and now home-assistant is running in a container, but the backups directory is a symbolic link to a mounted dataset (I could have mounted the entire config directory, but decided to limit the tweaking)
I would like to have an automatic weekly backup, and save the last 10 backups
Here’s a link to the wiki page I made awhile back. I had planned to do more work there but it never developed any further. Unfortunately, it is not so straightforward to setup.
I’m not sure if using a symbolic link will work. You may need to point the blueprint to your configuration inside the ix-applications dataset
thanks @troy ,
- If I understand correctly taking snapshots is relevant only when the
home assistant
config directory is on a zfs dataset - what are the benefits of having zfs snapshots over home assistant backup files
- If I adapt your snapshot automation to truenas scale, I need to change the rest api used. Looking at the
zfs.snapshot.xxx
apis I see the following:.delete
,.clone
,.create
,.query
,.remove
,.rollback
,.update
. I assume you are referring tozfs.snapshot.create
, right?
BTW, the symbolic link works. I have my home assistant data set mounted, and I added a backup directory which the config/backups points to, and home assistant can create, delete and restore backups
-
Correct, we are just using the TrueNAS API to trigger the built in TN snapshot functionality
-
I don’t necessarily know one is an advantage over the other. Home assistant back up is just a zip file and maybe easier to copy off your NAS creating a true backup. ZFS snapshot could still allow you to restore previous configuration if you deleted a file or something, but typically it is not considered a true backup since you will lose your snapshots if the data set is deleted. When I created the my adapted blueprint, the backup function had not yet been added to Home Assisted Core
-
Yes, I believe snapshot create is correct
Modified this for pushover notification instead of mobile.app (pushover.net)
