Hi,
i just wanted to restore a backup because i corrupted my db file.
HA does not have an internet connection, and now the restore job refuses to work because of
INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.jobs] 'BackupManager.do_restore_full' blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection
Why the hack does a restore job need an internet connection? 
Thanks in advance
I just ran into the same problem. How can HA claim to be ālocalā when you have to have an internet connection to restore a local backup file? This is crap.
Experienced the same surprise today. Looking to restore a backup iāve copied to a machine without network access.
I had the same issue 2 weeks ago. Full internal network available but no internet and restore does not even start.
Also worth to mention that if you want to configure MariaDB you canāt make it without opening the internet because it tries to check the password against the HaveIBeenPwned database. Not very privacy friendly to send your password, even if itās hashed, to any service. Itās good to block the internet, so you know what shit is happening in the background
has this been fixed ? does anyone know how to restore a backup without internet.
i need to restore to a new server without the old one knowing about it until i switch them over.
Just hit this issue last night after a power outage that took out the internet connection. When HA restarted NodeRed went into a reboot loop and I wanted to downgrade it to the last version, but due to no internet and this enforced restore condition (which suprises me for privacy reasons) I could not restore and thus lost all control of my house as I run nearly everything via MQTT, ZW and NodeRed. I went back to sleep and manually turned the lights and heating off. An option to disable or override this requirement from the command line (a bit like auto patching defeat) would be appreciated.
Would also be interested if itās still a thingā¦
Should we file an issue on github?
I will try to make a FR this week, a CLI option is all that is required, in IMHO:
I am going to suggest -n --nointernet
Yup, this is apparently still a thing with the current latest HAOS version including all HA components up-to-date.
Once you temporarily resore internet connection, youāll need to reboot HAOS I guess due to caching issues.
This whole restriction is defeating the purpose of having a fully local only instance for a smart home, also questions how much tight control do we even have over our own smart home.
I think it needs the time from an NTP server.
Good comment! 
Makes sense for rPi, although Iām using an x64 PC which has RTC. The errmsg still wrong not stating the actual reason needing internet leading to potential misunderstanding.
Iām having the same issue trying to do a test restore in an isolated network.
I have the same problem, is there any solution now?
Iām having the same problem on a brand new Debian 12 and HA install
BackupManager.do_restore_partialā blocked from execution, no supervisor internet connection
When will this get resolved ?
I have had this since the big backup overhaul of 2024/2025??
What usually works for me is to first restart home assistant, then restore the backup.
Same issue here on a one-day old Green Home Assistant.
It decided to stop connecting to the internet in the middle of the night and I was hoping to restore the ver first backup but it is impossible
What is the solution please?
This happens, when too many developers have hands on a product without taking care of any feedback. This issue is all over the net, reddit, official forums, anywhere. Even this topic here is 3 years old. And yet not a single dev has the courage to give an answer, WHY this insanely stupid need for an internet access during a backup is STILL a thing.
Good Lord, just REMOVE that time server ping from Home Assistantās godd**n backup procedure, for Christās sake!
