I've just realised my automatic backups haven't been running for the last week because my NAS is offline, therefore the backup failed
How do I configure my backup to run anyway and just skip over a destination if that destination is unavailable? (As a side note, this seems like a stupid default, why wouldn't I want to back up to local storage/Nabu Casa/GDrive just because my NAS is offline?)

are you sure it hasn't run the backup and its just reporting failure because it didn't "fully succeed"?
I am not sure on the actual behavior though
could you share your backup settings? maybe its an edge case where something is not right

ok so update: it does seem to happen and appears to be a bug. this is not intended behaviour.
someone was able to replicate. issue to follow later. it will get fixed (timeline: unknown)
in the mean time if your nas is gunna be offline for a while you can temporily disable it as a target for your auto backup

Ah okay that makes sense, thanks - I did think it was a bit strange but I'm not familiar enough with HA yet to be like "Yeah that's a bug, I should go report it" without asking the question first 🙂
Has the issue been created? If not I'm happy to do so
And yeah, I just disabled it as a target for now - I just happened to notice it while signing up to Nabu Casa and going to check it was working, so I hadn't realised it was an issue earlier. I did get a notification about it but just assumed the other backups would work properly and so wasn't concerned
Also while you're here, I don't think the notification said that the automatic backup had failed, just that the target wasn't accessible. Is there meant to be a "Failed backup" notification or did it just not fire because of this same bug?
