Homeassistant Core does not start anymore (2025.02.04)

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hey guys,

I recently opened another thread because my HomeAssistant VM broke down with no apparent cause here.
However after trying to resolve this and to update to HomeAssistant Core 2025.02.05 I cannot reach my instance at all because the core is not starting.

I can connect to the VM via ssh and these are the logs I can see for the core. So it looks like some python package is missing?
How can that happen and how can I solve that without the need to create a new VM again?

I used a backed up snapshot from my VM to get it back running. Lost a bit of data but that is okay.
Restoring a HomeAssistant backup did not work either as it told me “Restoring backup” for 10 hours straight. I needed to restart the VM eventually to use it again - without the backup.

I feel like my HomeAssistant installation has very big problems with the new backup feature as it now crashes every two days and I can only fing partial backups on my NAS.

After restarting again because backups were not uploaded to onedrive correctly my ha core does not start once again.
When I try to start it from the HA cli I get “Another job is running for job group home_assistant_core”.

I do not know, what happened but since Core 2025.2 HomeAssistant is not usable for me in any way.
I will shut it down and maybe come back to it when I have the nerves again.
