I realize that it has been a long time, but I had a similar problem caused by the deprecated emulated Hue - Alexa interface grabbing port 80.
Maybe a bit off topic, but what should I backup? I choose everything now, but the backups are growing some Mb per day. I have space, so that is not the issue.
Well you can probably skip the database as that is usually corrupted during backup.
Keep a copy of your addon configurations stored in a text file off system then you can skip a lot of addons too. You just need to reinstall them and copy the config over after a backup restore.
Im trying to exclude the āwwwā folder and cant get it to do this. How can I accomplish this?
The manual says: The folders to exclude in the backup. This will trigger a partial backup if specified. Possible values are homeassistant , ssl , share , addons/local and media .
so, if these are the possible folders, www canāt be excluded.

What delete command is used for the remote backup storage cleanup?
I found a lot of āshould be deletedā backups in my remote SAMBA storage.recyclebinfolder - just wondering if I need to take care of them by my own or if thereās an option to set the deletion command used for the remote storage. -
How to stop a currently running backup process?
Can I safely stop the SAMBA backup addon and remove the unfinished backup file - or will the process run until it finished, independently of the addon status?
ad 1)
The standard rm command of smbclient. If youāre using a recycle bin, you have to delete the backups yourself from your recycle bin folder. The addon cannot do this automatically in this case.
ad 2)
You can stop the addon, but the backup will continue running until it is finished. The addon just tells the supervisor to create the backup. Thatās exactly the same if you create a backup manually on the supervisor page.

what do I do wrong?
Its this step
1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Supervisor** -> **Add-on Store**
and add this URL as an additional repository: `https://github.com/thomasmauerer/hassio-addons`
thanks
ps: I did setup my HA freshly yesterday from the official HA .vdi container.
edit: after several trys the repo got addedā¦
i have this code in scipts
alias: backup
sequence:
- service: hassio.addon_stdin
data:
addon: 15d21743_samba_backup
input: trigger
mode: single
but i dont get a backup when triggered, and no entry in the logs
edit: 10 hours later, i just browsed by the backup location, and the backup from noon today was there. funny it took so long to show up for a 112mb backup. the smb share is on a 10gbs link to the HA server, its basically the same machine since HA runs in a VM on the NAS. so problem solved, lets see if the automation works 
Apologies for a super simple question here, but how do I install this?
I tried following the instructions on the Gitbhub page, namely adding https://github.com/thomasmauerer/hassio-addons as a repository, but once that is done, nothing else happens, no extra addons appear in the list, and if I search for samba backup, no results are found.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Did you tried to āRestartā ?
I tried āRestart Home Assistantā in the settings section. Maybe Iāll try āRestart Coreā or āRestart Supervisorā in the Supervisor section. No idea what the difference isā¦
Oh yeah - that worked! Thanks!

Supervisor is āFrontendā, Core is āHAĀ“s Coreā, Host is āOSā where HA-is running ā¦ in short terms, then you might have VMware, which is an App on Windows OS(Host)
PS: Im not sure i would call HA an APP, as itās much more than that( in my eyes)
PS: sometimes you can just āreloadā configuration.yaml( if changes made there, or in configās present(loaded) there, ā¦ but when itās an āAdd-Onā they mostly need ādeeperā into Core(at-least first time)
Honestly, i still havenāt figured out, when or what, so i use same āprocedure as you just mentionedā, Restart after checking config, as it clears logfile ā¦ im Dā¦ Stubborn and Curious ā¦ and love to see a Clean start-up logfile

Thank you very much for creating this add-on. It worked perfectly! And it saved me lots of time and effort trying create my own solution.
Well, Iāve been trying to make it work but no such luckā¦
Maybe someone can give me some ideas.
The config:
host: 192.168.2.45
share: HABackups
target_dir: /snapshots
username: ********
password: ********
keep_local: 2
keep_remote: 10
trigger_time: 'manual'
trigger_days:
- Mon
- Fri
exclude_addons:
- a0d7b954-influxdb
exclude_folders: []
backup_name: '{type} SnapshotNAS {version} {date}'
log_level: debug
But then my log is lacking:
[s6-init] making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc...exited 0.
[s6-init] ensuring user provided files have correct perms...exited 0.

Or after some restarts:

I can see that the user has connected with the NAS, on Synologyās Log Center.
But when I trigger it, it works but ignores the āexclude_addonsā, so it goes beyond 3h.
I donāt use this feature but it looks like the dash ā-ā should be an underscore ā_ā according to the example in the documentation.

Ughā¦ as usual, the problem seems to be behind the keyboard. 
Thanks, stephack! Iāll check it now.
edit: It worked! 
Hallo,
how can I configure the addon to create a full backup on Monday, and only a partial (only backup some addons) in Friday?
Thank you
