Error: Backup in Progress?

2020-05-02 04:30:02 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.auto_backup] Error during backup. There may be a backup already in progress.

I know this isn’t much info, please let me know what you need.

Also, it used to work.

Thanks for the follow up, it now works a treat. Honoured to be a bug hunter 😉

I change local to addons/local

Hey,

I stumbled onto the same issue by chance and when reviewing my code, I noticed that there was a bug that caused it to print ...backup in progress... regardless of the error that the supervisor returned. So it’s likely that there is another error occurring, often this will be because an addon or folder doesn’t exist. The issue in your case appears to be that the folder local does not exist, the only acceptable names for it are addons/local or local add-ons.

This bug will be fixed in the next release, so it will actually tell you what’s wrong, for now, if you wanted you can enable debug logging for the component to see what is actually returned by the supervisor.
