Timeout on /backups/new/partial request. There may be a backup already in progress.

The problem

hi, an hour after the automatic start of the daily backup I get an error message "Timeout on /backups/new/partial request. There may be a backup already in progress. ". This is what my automation looks like: alias: Backup - täglich/wöchentlich/monatlich Autobackup von jcwillox description: ab 15.02.2023 use_blueprint: path: jcwillox/automatic_backups.yaml input: enable_hourly: false enable_daily: true enable_weekly: false enable_monthly: false enable_yearly: false use_action_hourly: false backup_action:

• service: auto_backup.backup_full data: keep_days: 2 exclude: addons:
  • MariaDB folders:
  • Local add-ons
  • share

#This is my "automatics_backup.yaml" full
blueprint:
  name: Automatic Backups
  description: 'Create backups each day and keep them for a configurable amount of
    time, backups are stored less frequently the older they are.

    By default all backups are full backups, besides the 3-hourly backups which only
    include the configuration.

    **Template Variables:**

    - `name` — backup name configured below

    - `password` — backup password configured below

    - `keep_days` — days the backup is kept for based on the current backup type

    - `backup_type` — current schedule being created, e.g., `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly`

    **Note: requires the [Auto Backup](https://jcwillox.github.io/hass-auto-backup)
    custom integration.**

You're backups may just be to large, see this section of the wiki https://jcwillox.github.io/hass-auto-backup/home-assistant-supervised/#stability-timeouts

Thank you. my backups are increasing in size by 3.4 GB, the backups themselves seem fine, i'll try to change the settings and will report back

[66krieger]

Solved: The duration of the backup is now 43 minutes for 3.4 GB Size. I have set the backup timeout from 30 to 60 minutes and am now getting positive/successful feedback from the backup result.
