Backup not working all of a sudden

[jhanson999]

I maintain two separate home assistant instances, and both utilize this script. As of this morning, both are reporting this message in the logs:

[services.d] starting services [services.d] done. Adding SSH key Creating local backup: "Automated backup 2022-07-07 08:01" time="2022-07-07T08:01:50-05:00" level=error msg="Unexpected server response" parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 11 [cmd] /run.sh exited 4 [cont-finish.d] executing container finish scripts... [cont-finish.d] 99-message.sh: executing...

            Oops! Something went wrong.

We are so sorry, but something went terribly wrong when starting or running this add-on.

Be sure to check the log above, line by line, for hints.

[cont-finish.d] 99-message.sh: exited 0.

I've checked the configs and tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.

@jhanson999 can you please format the output properly? Thanks!

I got the same issue however, and I have no way to understand what might be the issue or how to resolve/troubleshoot this.

Same exact issue. Started 4-5 days ago. All configuration fine/unchanged and destination server working. Any advice?

I'm using https://github.com/ikifar2012/remote-backup-addon for the moment, it's a fork of this build.

@jhanson999 - Thank you. It works perfectly.
