Automatically create and backup HA snapshots using SCP
This add-on is a fork of the work of carstenschroeder which was originally created by overkill32
This add-on can be added via my Home Assistant Add-on repository:

When upgrading HA CLI I received the following warning and crash:
The use of 'snapshots' is deprecated, please use 'backups' instead!
More info here:
https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/08/24/supervisor_update
After further investigation I will need to make the switch from snapshots to backups.
Since we are in a developer cycle here, I'll bring this up.
Not a problem really, just think there is room for improvement.
In this log, you will see that the add-on worked fine, did all it's work. The local backup happen in the HA server, but the remote device is off. It continues making the rsync and everything only to throw it out as there is nowhere to go.
Perhaps it could check if the target is alive before it does more than the local snapshot and throw a flag that the remote server is down somehow?
I don't know that this is at all feasible or even needed, just something that may enhance functionality.

A 'Nice to Have' would be some exported boolean that HA can used to tell me if the last back-up was successful.
I recently had a 12 day stretch where the back-up had a problem and I did not know it.
As another thought, possibly a sensor that lists the time/date the last successful backup occurred could also be useful.
Sometimes the old Linux machine I have my drive spinning on locks up, and I will get the snapshot but it will not send it off the main instance, and I would like to capture / remedy that when it happens.

Hi! Thanks for creating this add-on. I'm trying it now, and it looks it won't work for me.
My set-up: trying to back-up via SSH to my back-up server, which is a regular SSH server. But error seems to happen before even attempting to connect to that server. Here is the log:

While running rsync in the add-on It goes thru and backs-up several files that do not necessarily need to have a backup. DB files and some log files in config, cache files from the TDM add-on, and others.
Since rsync has the ability natively to exclude files. I would make good use of a line on the config that would feed this info to the rsync command-line to ignore certain folders and files.
Some of these files are cache files in the TDM add-on, for instance, that are never needed to be backed up.
The issue is 3 fold.
the long list of files pushes the logging off the screen and I cannot ever go to the beginning of the log to see if all was OK or the versions, etc.
There is no need to back these up and take space on the back-up drive.
This will speed up the process not having to back-up the database file, for instance.
I finally got SSH working properly from the HA server to my NAS. That was a permissions issue on .ssh and .authorized_keys on the server. Just including that for completeness.
Now when I try to run Remote Backup the log shows it will create a full backup but then creates null.tar or null.zip, depending on whether or not I have a zip password set. No backup file is ever created and thus never uploaded.
Please note that I've intentionally obscured the server name but it is accurate in the config and log.

HASSOS is running on a robust TrueNAS server in a Ubuntu VM.

We are using SCP to copy to a remote Mac server. The path needs to be escaped, as it has spaces in it. The add-on does use quotes for the path, so I can simply enter the path into the config file. However, if I do not escape, then the following error is shown:
scp: ambiguous target
If I do escape the string, then the move of the tar to the friendly name then breaks, as you cannot mix quotes and escaped spaces together.
Remote Backup fails when setting the SFTP port number om my DSM to 222 and remote_port in the config also to 222. Log:

The add-on works flawlessly when setting both ports back to 22.
Back-up appears to be working fine, but I spotted something that seems odd.
This is my 'up north' instance, very vanilla no exclusions for the backup, a few exclusions in the rsync.

The documentation says:
To keep no local backups set this to null then all backups created will be removed after remote transfer.
It is not possible to set this value to null since that value does not match the regexp for this option. Setting it to blank results in the complaint that the option is missing.

Plugin ignoring config parameters:
The effect is that the backup does not fit on the disk. I don't want to back up the 'media' directory!
The problem seems to me after the last Home Assistant update.
Unfortunately, the plugin is useless at the moment.

Any idea how to clear this warning. I've always seen it but it still works.
I thought sending it all to a new server might fix it, it doesn't. I had a server fail so had to reset everything.
I think that it is looking for this file on the HA host maybe. Does this on both of my HA systems.
Nothing broke, but annoying.

Failed to add public key for remote host x.x.x.x
It used to work with 2024.5 and below...
I heard that there is a feature in some other back-up programs to 'lock' the database at the time of back-up to prevent corruption in the back-up copy.
Might be a nice addition if you decide a to do a re-write here at some point...
I have noticed that the ".storage" folder is not sent to back-up with the rsync function.
2 ways to make that available would be to add an "include:" section in the config, or just add ".storage" folder because that has all the lovelace and stuff in it and would be nice to have available as a quick back-up.
Happy new year everyone!
I've just looked in my Home Assistent logs and saw that the last backup (automatic backup -> mo, wed, fri at 0200) was not successful.
The addon should copy from home assistant to my diskstation (synology).
I did neither change/update something on home assistent nor on my diskstation.
I get the following error when I try to make a backup:

When I try to sftp or scp from the terminal in HA I can send files to the diskstation:
scp -i /ssl/diskOneHassio -v 3ffa4a73.tar [email protected]:/NetBackup/Hassio/test.tar
works as well as
sftp -i /ssl/diskOneHassio [email protected]
sftp> put 3ffa4a73.tar
Uploading 3ffa4a73.tar to /NetBackup/Hassio/3ffa4a73.tar
My config looks like this:
backup_custom_prefix: Automated backup
backup_friendly_name: true
backup_keep_local: "10"
remote_host: diskone.homesys
remote_key: diskOneHassio
remote_port: 22

rsync_exclude:

- /config/*.db
rsync_rootfolder: hassio-sync
ssh_enabled: true
ssh_remote_directory: /NetBackup/HassioThe debug output would be like this:

I am not very into python nor HA-Dev but i think there is an escaping-error in this line:
ssh remote "mv "${REMOTE_DIRECTORY}"/${slug}.tar "${REMOTE_DIRECTORY}"/\"${name}\".tar"
Any suggestions on this?
When the new version came out, this confused me, even though I've used the program years.
Adding something in the ssh remote directory line indicating it needs to be the root folder, like the one is set for rsync, would help clarify what is being asked for here.
I thought originally it wanted the path to SSL on the remote host or something. Figured it out eventually.
Upgraded to 9.0 from 7.2
I use rclone to backup directly to pcloud. Previously worked faultlessly. Now backup folder is OK, but nested folders e.g. homeassistant.tar.gz do not open up - triggers message that not an archive or corrupted.
There seems to be a bug i have generated multiple key pairs, anyhow when you see the config, the remote key is named "id_ecdsa_rpi" but the log is referencing somethign else in the error: "Enter passphrase: Load key "/root/.ssh/id_rsa": incorrect passphrase supplied to decrypt private key"

Can you maybe advise?

Thinking while helping someone on the forums today..
If you started a persistent notification when the back-up started, then cleared it when it ended, you would be giving the frontend and operator an indicator that a back-up is happening. Also if the back-up fails, you could directly notify the operator and frontend the same way that an error occurred, with a link maybe to the log, don't know for sure about the link.
I bet this is possible, if nothing else an interesting puzzle to work out in any case.
This would give your add-on an advantage over others.
The feature request asking for such a thing:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/backup-in-progress-indicator/692356
Have used this add-on for some time but the recent update gives an error in the logs.
"[info] Backup created: 35c9e120

Last working backup was on Dec 23, 2021
Has something changed for ssh key in add-on?
I can ssh into 192.168.1.109 from HA terminal.

hi ! addon seem to work, followed the direction from this blog : https://maartendamen.com/how-do-i-back-up-home-assistant/
I have 2 questions :
Hi @ikifar2012!
I was looking pretty long for an addon that would do automatic backup to my NAS but use SSH based data transfer (rsync, scp, ...). So with your addon I found the perfect match. The last days I have played around with it and gathered a few ideas on improvements. Just let me know which of them sound interesting to you:
Code
for loopfor various individual rsync folders, PR#54Configuration
Documentation
StrictHostKeyChecking no security is impacted -> think about solution for codedelete-local-backup (if I saw that correctly in the code)For almost all I already have an idea, if you let me know which interest you, I would create more pull requests.
Thanks again, you solved one of my longest running issues with backup of HA!
I have a custom folder keeping my known_hosts and id file, to persist between updates or reloads.
Is there a possibility change the addon to specify the location of these.
I connect to a couple of hosts passwordless by ssh-copy-id, pulling all kinds of stats.
I want to backup my snapshots/backup folder to one of these hosts.
Core 2024.3.3
Supervisor 2024.03.0
Operating System 12.1
I have been using this addon for a while and the rsync function used to work well. I just noticed that the rsync target directory did not have much in it and so I investigated. The logs show the following:
[22:05:03] INFO: Copying backup using rsync.
rsync: [sender] link_stat "/all_addon_configs" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync: [sender] link_stat "/homeassistant_config" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1336) [sender=3.2.7]
[22:05:07] ERROR: Error rsyncing folder(s) /addons /all_addon_configs /backup /config /homeassistant_config /media /share /ssl to [email protected]:/storage/homeassistant/hassio-sync: unknown error: 23!
My configuration contains:

ssh_enabled: true
ssh_remote_directory: /storage/homeassistant
rsync_enabled: true

rsync_exclude: []
Is something misconfigured?
I perform weekly backups. The friendly name feature stopped fully working for me on Sept 13, 2021. The feature partially works as described below. Since the backup completes, this isn't a fatal error. However, the convenience of the friendly name is lost.

debug: trueHi,
A few days ago I updated the addon from version 2022.5 to 2022.7, and it looks like my back-ups haven’t been successful since then. I haven’t changed any configuration for the addon, or on the remote machine (a NAS). The error shown in the logs mentions “subsystem request failed on channel 0”
