I have been running Samba backup with no issues for about 6 months and it suddenly stopped about 3 weeks ago. Running version 5.2.0. The log states that it cannot access the share for some reason. Not sure what changed to cause this.
The share is a folder on my PC.

Maybe a Windows update caused this?
Check whether the share is really still avaiable to Samba Backup. I would fully remove that share from the PC and recreate it.

Yes, I am thinking a windows update caused it. Running WIN10.
Doing a little more digging, I found that SMBv1 was disabled in Windows. I had to go into the control panel to re-enable it and Samba Backup is working again now.
Will MS keep disabling SMBv1 with their updates?
No idea whether this will happen again with MS-updates. However, it’s a simple one-liner to re-enable SMBv1 when using Power Shell.
To check whether SMBv1 is enabled/disabled run from PowerShell:
Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Format-List EnableSMB1Protocol
To re-enable SMBv1 run as Administrator from PowerShell:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $true
and you should be good again.

Dear all,
I experience an issue together with an attached Network-Storage.
The samba-backup is working fine, but after creation, the file is no longer found by the addon, but it is stored on the external device.
How can I get the samba backup addon to “see” the stored files and delete them after the storage time is over?

I experienced a similar issue, but backups are not created locally and not saved to NAS for me, manually triggering with above script it works for both.
So it seems the trigger days are no longer working. Once removed the existing trigger days I cannot add them back.
Later found out that the original/default trigger short day names are no longer accepted: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
However it works with full day names: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Env details:
Add-on version: 5.2.0
You are running the latest version of this add-on.
System: Home Assistant OS 13.1 (amd64 / generic-x86-64)
Home Assistant Core: 2024.9.2
Home Assistant Supervisor: 2024.09.1
Hi,
try checking the default backup location under http://homeassistant.local:8123/hassio/backups
→ Menu in the upper right and “change default backup location”.
Backup will break, if this is set to the SMB location.
It worked for me, after changing it back to local storage.
I run HA on unraid(xeon gold 5118 12 cores and 64G mem) and my virtual disk is over 1TB and I wanted to shrink it. easiest way I thought was to install new HA instance and restore last nights backup file.
The backup file is 200G
I tried the HA onboarding process and pointed it at the backup file but after 20 hours of “restore in progress” nothing happended.
So I created a new HA user, added samba backup addon and tried the restore process. The 200G backup file was discovered locally in the backup/config folder so I started the restore process. The HA gui connection dropped but 3 hours later … no gui acess. I can ping the server nd HA cli interface is up.
How long should the restore process take and is there anyway to see if the restore process is still active?
I have this addon running perfectly fine on one HA instance and yet, when trying to get it running on another one, I can’t even save the samba backup configuration file even though I copy/paste a perfectly working config file from my other instance.
I hit save then I get the error:
Failed to save add-on configuration, Unknown error, see supervisor logs
there is nothign related in the supervisor logs, perhaps only this one line:
2024-10-02 17:25:41.729 WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.utils.pwned] Can't fetch HIBP data: Timeout
The HA core logs however show this timeout:

Last logged: 16:34:13
Timeout on /addons/15d21743_samba_backup/options/validate request
Any ideas? The only issue similar to mine is this, where someone said he gets the same error when HA is offline, which is not the case with mine, as I am remotely conencted to it.
And then someoen saying he cannot save a configuration due to HIBP check: Addon UI Configuration not possible due to HIBP check · Issue #4441 · home-assistant/supervisor · GitHub
Please help.
Sorted with a complete reboot of the OS, not just restart of HA. Seems HA had a hiccup somewhere thinking it was offline. Meanwhile, I was remotely connected to it from a different country and was struggling with this nonsense.
Update…
the last 14 daily backups using samba backup where not able to restore. I tried using the HA onboard process and also creating an HA instance and restoring from systems/backup. Nothing worked.
To resolve I fortunatly had the orginal HA vm so I removed samba backup and used HA to create a backup and this restored OK.
Samba backup is now coming nowhere near my system. I run a fairly vanilla version of HA so cannot understand why it didnt restor. I would caution using this without testing your restore files actually work
Hi!
I’m getting the following error in Samba Backup Protocol:
Failed to get 15d21743_samba_backup logs, e.callApiRaw is not a function
No protocol is displayed.
Home Assinstant:
- Core: 2024.10.4
- Supervisor: 2024.11.2
- Operating System: 13.2
- Frontend: 20241002.4
I am running HA on a synology NAS.
Thanks and kind regards
Me too. Same error when I try to access add-on logs. Started after upgrading to Supervisor 2024.11.2 (no, really, it did…)
Edit: Also, the upgrade doesn’t seem to have created a backup as it should have done, so I’m a bit stuck…
HA 2024.11 is needed to get logs again

On my Proxmox Install it seems that this Addin is also responsible for a slow but permanent increase in Memory Usage. Usually I start at around 4GB of Ram. Then after the Backup ran it increased to 9 GB. Then the next night ended up with 16 GB.
This is reproducable in my environment. 2024.11.0 Core with 2024.11.2 Supervisor on Proxmox 8.2.0; HA as virtual machine NOT LXC.
A real pitty, I liked this Addon. Since I disabled it all is fine
Hello
-
Backup files are created, but there are error messages in the log file.
-
and the second problem: the backup files are in the share and not in the subfolder specified in the target directory.
does anyone have any ideas

Yeap that was it ! thanks ! solved the issue. Full backup every single night.
Thank you !
Suggestion.
When I’m making a full backup it fails due to that I have 60% full disk. This is because the backup is made on the disk and then copied to the sambashare and then deleted on the disk.
An option that would make the backup directly on the sambashare would not fail and a copy and delete wouldn’t be necessary.
Thanks.
