David, my config is set up to create a partial snapshot, excluding my databases and other large addons, every morning at 2:16am
host: 10.1.1.10
share: Backup
target_dir: Hassio
username: hassio
password: [redacted]
keep_local: 10
keep_remote: 30
trigger_time: '02:16'
trigger_days:
- Mon
- Tue
- Wed
- Thu
- Fri
- Sat
- Sun
exclude_addons:
- 15ef4d2f_esphome
- 15ef4d2f_esphome-dev
- a0d7b954_influxdb
- core_mariadb
- a0d7b954_vscode
exclude_folders:
- addons/local
backup_name: '{type} Snapshot (Samba Backup) {date} v{version}'
backup_password: ''
I have an automation that triggers a partial snapshot including my databases weekly at 5:26am on Tuesdays:
- alias: 'Full Samba Backup'
trigger:
platform: time
at: '05:26:00'
condition:
condition: time
weekday:
- tue
action:
- service: hassio.addon_stdin
data:
addon: 15d21743_samba_backup
input:
command: trigger
backup_name: 'Database Snapshot (Samba Backup) {date} v{version}'
exclude_addons: [ 15ef4d2f_esphome, 15ef4d2f_esphome-dev, a0d7b954_vscode ]
This is quite an intensive operation.
I also have another automation that alerts me when Samba backup is running and has succeed or failed:
- alias: Backup Notifications
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.samba_backup
condition:
- condition: not
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.samba_backup
state: IDLE
action:
- service: notify.telegram_system
data_template:
title: '*Information*'
message: "Samba backup {{ states('sensor.samba_backup')|lower }}."
- service: logbook.log
data_template:
name: Samba Backup
message: "{{ states('sensor.samba_backup')|lower }}"
That works for both the addon and automation triggered snapshots.

Hmmm, very strange. They should be equivalent.
I donât get it either. Both versions should work.
Sorry if I was not clear enough: You only need to delete/rename a sensor if you manually created one before. If you never added a âSamba Backupâ sensor entry in your configuration.yaml, you do not have to do anything.

I never created manually a âSamba Backupâ sensor entry.

Delete the mqtt sensor (you must have made) from your config and restart. Then upgrade the addon.

Backup integration works great.
Working nicely in node red! Sends iOS notification if backup failed.

Good idea. I write one up with screenshots tomorrow.
Hi Tom,
I used another power supply to troubleshoot my issues. The one I normally use in production does not have the power issues.
I did step 1-8. But when I click on restore selected and click on OK if Iâm sure, nothing seems to happen.
Hi Tom,
I love this idea but it seems I am a tad dim⌠I managed to get your addon but I am stuck in the config.
My setup: Network storage :: Synology NAS ( 192.168.1.235 )(with a shared drive /ha_backup which I can access with windows using user and pass)
HA :: Rpi4 with Home Assistant ( 192.168.1.170 ) booting from SSD (Had to use the Beta 5.2 as the vanilla version does not support SSD booting)
Config:
Copy to clipboard
host: 192.168.1.235
share: backup
target_dir: /ha-backup
username: *********
password: *********
keep_local: '5'
keep_remote: '30'
trigger_time: '04:00'
trigger_days:
- Wed
- Sun
exclude_addons: []
exclude_folders: []
backup_name: '{type} Snapshot (Samba Backup) {date}'
So in doing this I get the error: âCannot access share. Please check your config.â
Do you mind explaining where I am going wrong??
my network drive wonât work as it is not Samba? I have no idea what Synology uses but I would bet it uses SambaâŚ
I have to mount it first?
I have no idea what to put under your share option, the samba share name? Where do I get this?
Did I get it wrong and the host is the local / HA ip and not the samba host?
Target directory? I can get to this from windows \192.168.1.235\ha_backup - should I enter the full path?
something totally different?
Thank you ever so much!
Frank

This is not my addon. I just use it. Have you tried:
share: ha-backup
Note: no leading /
If you get a âCannot access shareâ, the only options that could be wrong are host, share or the credentials, but most likely itâs the share option.
I guess your config should look like this:
host: 192.168.1.235
share: ha_backup
target_dir: ""

It will look like nothing is happening. After a minute or so when you hit F5, the webpage should go unavailable (thatâs how you know itâs doing stuff). Depending on the size, it should be back online after 20 minutes or so.
Youâre right. I was too impatient or waiting for some sort of confirmation or status update.
Now back on track
