HAos - backup restore command - PLEASE supply progress/feedback

Restore Progress

How do I determine from the HA CLI that a restore is finished? I use the restore snapshot after a fresh install but I don’t actually get any progress update so have to guess when to reboot which is causing all sorts of issues. So I’ve now connected a keyboard and screen to my RPi but can’t figure out which commands to use in the HA CLI to determine that the restore is finished. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I encountered this phenomenon tonight using the CLI to restore a .98 GB backup. I realize it’s going to require some time, but there is not even minimal feedback provided when the restore starts. I checked the Github issues log and didn’t see anything. Hence this feature request.

Thank you for listening!

I have had a similar situation where I could not start a backup, because another instance was running, due to a slow samba backup.
The error message was just giving no clue about this.

Progress indicator when Restoring from Backup

I’m sure like me you have had to restore from backup at some point. So the nerves are jangling and the fingers are crossed as you do it. At present there is no indication as to how the Restore is shaping up, no clue as to what’s going on behind the scenes be it good or bad. It would be really useful to have some sort of simple indicator just to show how the restore is progressing - a comfort blanket for highly stressed HA users !
