Update of Add-on fails because of missing backup target

Configuration
1

Hello,
I am using the new Backup feature to store backups on a cloud storage (WebDAV) in addition to local storage on my HA RasPi.
Everything worked as it is supposed to, thanks to the developers for supplying!

Two days ago I added my home NAS as additional backup target using SMB protocol.
This also works as expected.

However today I got an issue, when my Home NAS was switched off: I wanted to manually update an Add-on and inclufing backup of the previous version.

This failed with an error, that the network share is not present, of course, since the NAS was switched off.

But to my surprise the update process completely failed, presumably due to the error.
Although 2 other backup targets were available.

I then disabled the Network storage in the backup settings, but this did not change anything!!??

I think that

  1. there should not be problem with performing an update, if a non existing backup target is disabled
  2. there should be a warning in case an activated backup target is not reachable, and the question, if the update should be done anyhow (using the remaining backup targets)

The update succeeded only after I deleted the network storage completely.

Can this behaviour changed?
Thx, nob

Hello hassfo,

Turn the NAS back on, and when running, restart Home Assistant, It should re-acquire properly if all was set up the way you described.

Hello Sir_Goodenough,

thx for your prompt feedback.
I guess, that it will be working, when the NAS is back on.

My point is a general one regarding the backup function:
If I have a network storage defined, but disabled, see screenshot

Why will it not be ignored by the backup job ??
