Google Drive Backup keeps stopping

[apollojones]

Hello @sabeechen:

First of all, thanks for writing this add-on. It simplifies an potentially complex situation and makes backups easy.

I've been using it for some time without an issue, but just recently, the add-on just keeps stopping, showing as greyed out in my list of add-ons. Often I can just restart the add-on, but it always ends up stopping again. Sometimes when it has started, a backup can take place, and that might then make it to the end part of the process where a sync with Google Drive takes place.

The Supervisor log looks like this:

Actually, the Google Drive Backup log never really shows anything abnormal.

Could you provide some clues about what might be happening here? I'm finding it tricky to get into the issue in any depth to see what's happening.

Thanks in advance,
Mike,

Just a few more points of clarification:

1. Once the add-on stops working it has never recovered by itself as far as I can see.
2. A full system restart including HW/Docker restart seems to provide the longest recovery, but still stops after some time.
3. Once working, the add-on syncs local backups to Drive as would be expected, presumably this process is effective as long as the add-on is working.
4. The failure mechanism seems elusive to me, but I'm not a full day-to-day SW expert so there may be other diagnosise that can be performed to surface the issues more clearly.
