Hi,
I’m trying to backup from my HA that it’s running on a RPI4 into a remote Samba drive (over a Starlink connection) but I get this error:
Logger: homeassistant.components.backup
Source: components/backup/manager.py:790
integration: Backup (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 6:50:19 AM (6 occurrences)
Last logged: 8:05:58 AMError creating backup: Error getting backup details: Backup does not exist
How can I get more info about why it’s not being able to create the backup?
Thanks!
That’s um… a “brave” move.
The connection is far from reliable and drop-outs occur regularly.
Store the backup locally and use a cron job to start a copy/move service that can recover from dropped connections, (like r-sync with --append-verify) to copy/move it to your remote share.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I tried to do the backup only locally but I also got the same error:

It seems the backup files are created but just 10Kb and the tars are empty.
Wonder what might be happening… ?
Getting the same error. Not able to create any backup. Getting Log:

There is not much information available in the system.
Small files are being created in the backup directory with each attempt to create a backup.
What is the issue here?
