New backup integration broken - 2025.1

[sharp cypress]

Hi guys, I've just upgraded to 2025.1 and the native backup integration seems broken straight away, I am seeing the following error on HA startup. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this, would someone mind giving me a hand? I did try turning debug logging on but I didn't see any further info (not sure if I turned it on correctly?) - thanks in advance!

I think I remember seeing someone say if you have a /backup/ folder pre-existing in your config directory it will break things. maybe check that

Thanks for the response! I've checked /root/config and there is no /root/config/backup folder but there is a /root/backup folder from the Google drive backup integration, let me try renaming that and seeing if that fixes it

I'm not confident of exactly the path where it was the problem

No worries! Ok so I tried to rename it, rebooted, but it got renamed back to backup on reboot. Actually looks like this is a symlink to /backup - not sure if this is the internal backup integration doing this or the Google drive backup add-on (I did try disabling that add-on and disabling start on boot before rebooting HA).

If it helps, I am running HA using the VM image (with supervisor etc installed)
