Google Drive Backup does not start

Dear all,

I’m having the issue that the plugin does not start. I can press start but as soon as I try to open I get a “bad gateway” message and “Add-on is not running. Please start it first”.

Before the plugin was working since months without an issue. I don’t really know when the issue started. I observed it after an upgrade to supervisor version 238. Now I’m at version 242 but the issue persists.

To troubleshoot I uninstalled the plugin and re-installed (after reboot). The issue remains.

Any idea how I can fix it? Thanks a lot!

In the google drive backup logs I have following information:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Weird, never seen that before. That error suggest that one of the libraries the addon depends on has the wrong encoding, which really shouldn’t happen. I would have suggested reinstalling it, but you already did that.

What platform/environment are you running this on, and do you know if you’re running the 32 or 64 bit version of Home Assistant? (eg a raspberry pi3, in a VM, on top of ubuntu, etc)

So - it is solved.

1. reinstallation HASS.IO on a blank SD card and restoring from a backup did NOT work - Google Drive backup was still not there.
2. What worked was to install HASS.IO on a blank SD Card, installing the google drive backup addon and then doing a restore from the backup.

Now everything works as expected again!
