2 months ago I can confirm this behavior that Whisper Addon is fully backed up and backup file is huge, every model that I tried is there

2 months ago Yep, models should not be saved into the /data folder, because it's part of the backups, which is not useful.

1 month ago Bump. My Full Backups also increased by 2.8GB, which means I now have to delete backups frequently to keep in my 32GB disk partition. My system is currently:
HA OS in a proxmox partition on a x86-64 PC Core 2024.5.3 Supervisor 2024.05.1 Operating System 12.3 Frontend 20240501.1
I created a Full Backup (System > Backups > Create backup > Full Backup) taking 3840.1MB. Download to my PC and open
Note the last entry … core_whisper.tar.gz 2.8GB out of 3.8GB file; and that that file contains the “medium.en” whisper model I am currently using, plus tiny folders for previously used models.

2 weeks ago I see the original post list the documentation says it should be excluded from backup, but it isn't getting excluded.
https://bford.info/cachedir/ is a standard that some backup program follow that CACHEDIR.TAG with a specific first line will trigger the directory to be excluded from backup.
That's a thought for a mechanism for Whiper to exclude the model files if the Home Assistant backup were configured to look for these files to exclude directories. This could also allow a user to specify that they do want the models to be backed up if say they were moving to a different system and didn't want to redownload the models. Just a thought, it would all take logic to make happen.
Describe the issue you are experiencing
Yesterday I installed a local voice assist pipeline. Before Installing it each full backup (automatically done by Onedrive backup) was about 440MB... but since I installed whisper, piper and openwakeword, yesterday the backup was 1gb and this morning is 1,6gb.
Doing a partial backup of Whisper, only for this addon is 1266MB, and unzipping the file I can see the 3 models that I tried with some big files (eg path: core_whisper\data\models--rhasspy--faster-whisper-medium-int8\blobs).
On the Whisper add-on documentation it says:
Backups Whisper model files can be quite large, so they are automatically excluded from backups. The models will be re-downloaded when the backup is restored.
But it seems it doesn't happen.
