How big is your backup data? I'm approaching 5GB on Cloud so that could be why. I'm close to limit.

#

2.7GB or something, lemme check

icy kelp Sep 25, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

Mine's just over 4.

#

How did you check your network traffic? I wonder if I can find historical data from yesterday.

hasty egret Sep 25, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

2.15-2.17GB for the last 3

icy kelp Sep 25, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

😕

#

I wouldn't expect it to be nearly 20 minutes of upload for that.

icy kelp How did you check your network traffic? I wonder if I can find historical data f...

unifi web app + proxmox network traffic graph (which is VERY ephemeral and not existant on the Green 😅 )

#

i wish i had screenshot the proxmox thing, it was really obvious that the upload speed had plateaued

#

just realized that the update to b1 was much faster 🤔

#

But did you backup?

hasty egret Sep 25, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

ALWAYS

icy kelp Sep 25, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

I'm gonna check my network stuff but I think mine's ephemeral too.

#

hasty egret ALWAYS

lol I don't always for the incremental beta versions.

hasty egret Sep 25, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

that's like when it's most important 🤷‍♂️ cause chances of things breaking are the biggest

#

true, i have backups taken each night, but how would my OCD deal with 2h worth of missing energy data? 😱

#

I watch the rest of the reports to see if it's dangerous.

#

Sometimes I yolo it.

yeah, and they you are surprised by the fact that there's always a newer beta than you have installed 😅

Tbf on my side everyone is up for most of their day before I'm awake.

#

😆

California dreamin'

icy kelp Sep 25, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

No network data for me. ablobsigh

#

I can do a backup with b1 and see what happens. I want to remove old updates I don't need but also want to keep it the same as last time.

#

😆

#

THE CONFLICTING FEELINGS

hasty egret Sep 25, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

ah, i see your dilemma. i also back up on a local NAS, so i don't care that i only have a slot for 1 backup in the cloud

#

i have like 20 backups locally and 1 in HA Cloud

icy kelp Sep 25, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

Starting now. 🫡

I'm about to have my PC as a shared media source for Home Assistant so I can also move my backups to that and move the local ones down to that too.

#

I'm sure I'm stress testing my poor sd card lol.

hasty egret Sep 25, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

yes

#

to everything

icy kelp Sep 25, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

Yeah, that was much faster this time.
