WTH Is there no progress indication when restoring a backup?

Sometimes restoring a backup can be required at times of high anxiety. Some indication of progress would be reassuring.

I’ve picked up a HA Yellow and I’m in the process of restoring a backup from my previous instance. It’s been restoring for a few hours now and I’m not sure if it’s working or not. I’ll leave it overnight, but it would be really good if there was some way to see the status of the restore. Maybe something along the lines of x out of y number of configurations restored, extra credit if it showed all the things it was restoring and all the things still to be restored.

Absolutely a major need for a revamp of the backup restoration.

I on occasion test restoring and it’s dreadful as there is no way of knowing what it’s up to other than it has started…or has it. On occasion even after 8 hours I just do a restart and no restore at all. On other occasions after 30mins do a restart and it has finished yet never says anything other then " In Progress". Go figure.

In turn have given up and just rely on Virtual Machine backups these days. Can’t trust Hass backups unfortunately.

BTW for anyone who might be interested, the restore didn’t work, but I did get a couple of days of blinken lights :frowning:
