💾 Create Automated Backups Every Day

SeLLeRoNe · July 31, 2021, 8:30am

Nevermind… it seems it has been reverted for now

DavidFW1960 · July 31, 2021, 8:54am

Reverted because it needs a new supervisor. It wasn’t backing up for the last few days (reverted in 2021.8.0b5)
It’s coming…

SeLLeRoNe · August 1, 2021, 3:23pm

Ok then back to my original request

Sddawson · September 30, 2021, 5:30am

Agreed. I’ve noticed the deprecated status in the logs too…

While it gets done, you can do it also in the config\blueprints\automation\vorion\create-automated-backups-every-day.yaml

Line 39

change

service: hassio.snapshot_full

to

service: hassio.backup_full

P.S. I did not want to copy that stuff and create a new blueprint as this would take away vorions credit

Wondering if it could be possible to also delete previous snapshots if all went well.

Sddawson · November 2, 2021, 8:54pm

I use this GitHub - tmonck/clean_up_snapshots: Service to clean up your home assistant snapshots, so you don't manually have to.

Hi, i get an often the following Error. What could it be?

Nearly 2 months after the change from “hassio.snapshot_full” to “hassio.backup_full” and this is still not fixed? What gives? I did it in config myself but it’s a 5 second fix.

dwzrd86 · January 28, 2022, 4:19am

I updated line 39 and now I’m getting “Error while executing automation automation.automated_daily_snapshot: Unable to find service hassio.backup_full” I thought that was suppose to fix this. Any thoughts?

rcursaru · April 18, 2022, 7:14pm

posted a fixed version of this here: Updated Automated Backups

Sddawson · April 18, 2022, 11:06pm

@rcursaru Thank you!

Is it possible to move the backup automatically to another location?
I’m running HA OS on a raspberry and want the backup be moved to my NAS

pepe59 · June 11, 2022, 9:04am

I use samba backup as the second post of this thread and it works perfectly

le_top · June 14, 2022, 3:01pm

hassio.snapshot_full in the original blueprint is no longer available and probably has to be hassio.backup_full.

I am also using samba backup though, offloading the backup to a NAS.

frenkthetenk · August 17, 2022, 9:55am

Interesting topic. Is there also a way to automatically restore a back-up? My plan is to create a second home assistant instance as a back-up. I currently run my primary home assistant on a VM on the Synology. I’ve faced some storage pool issues in the past which led to downtime of HA.

I have a second instance of home assistant on a Pi in the same network. Restoring a back-up from the primary instance to the Pi worked like a charm. But now I would like to automate it that during the night the secondary HA is automatically restored with the back-up from the primary.

Any thoughts?

tomg1970 · September 8, 2022, 6:09am

Yes i have this error

BrianAMartin221 · September 8, 2022, 12:16pm

I just saw this as well I just select submit and it said it fixed the workflow. Just scheduled it to run in 10 mns so I’ll confirm that it works in a bit.

chizmw · September 12, 2022, 10:25am

Did it work?

BrianAMartin221 · September 12, 2022, 9:15pm

Nope I’m still getting the error and the automaton does not work with
