Same issue.

It's because the config (go to the addon's Configuration tab) includes a google drive setup by default, even though it doesn't exist.

This causes the addon to stop, even though you need it running to get the UI... to configure the backups in the first place...

I guess we're forced to specify one config manually in YAML before we can use the Addon?
