Entities

Entities

BackupCheckup creates one main device and optional detail devices for detected storage agents.

Entity modes

• Standard: enables primary status, Health, Recovery, integrity, analytics, and problem entities.
• Expert: additionally enables timestamps, checksums, database details, manual-backup data, native schedule values, and every storage-agent entity.

An entity manually disabled by the user remains disabled. Storage-agent entities are disabled in Standard mode.

Main sensors

Entity	Purpose
sensor.backup_checkup_status	highest-priority current backup state
sensor.backup_checkup_recommendation	recommended next action
sensor.backup_checkup_health_score	explained Health Score from 0–100
sensor.backup_checkup_health_rating	Excellent, Good, Warning, or Critical
sensor.backup_checkup_problem_count	number of simultaneous problems
sensor.backup_checkup_stored_backups	monitored regular backup count; update snapshots remain visible in attributes
sensor.backup_checkup_latest_backup_age	age in complete 24-hour days
sensor.backup_checkup_latest_backup_size	newest regular backup size
sensor.backup_checkup_latest_backup_result	complete, partial, or unknown
sensor.backup_checkup_latest_backup_locations	locations containing the newest regular backup
sensor.backup_checkup_automatic_backups	automatic backup count
sensor.backup_checkup_automatic_backup_age	newest automatic backup age
sensor.backup_checkup_latest_automatic_backup_size	newest automatic backup size

Age sensors remain at 0 d until 24 hours have elapsed. Exact timestamps and precise values are available in attributes and expert timestamp entities.

Integrity sensors

Entity	Purpose
sensor.backup_checkup_integrity_status	not_checked, checking, valid, valid_with_warnings, corrupt, unreadable, password_required, aborted, or internal error
sensor.backup_checkup_last_integrity_check	latest completed check time
sensor.backup_checkup_integrity_checksum	stored SHA-256, Expert detail
sensor.backup_checkup_verified_backup_size	downloaded and verified size
sensor.backup_checkup_integrity_check_duration	complete-check duration
sensor.backup_checkup_database_integrity_status	optional SQLite result

Recovery sensors

Entity	Purpose
sensor.backup_checkup_recovery_readiness	0–100 score with checks, deductions, inventory, comparison, and preparedness
sensor.backup_checkup_recovery_status	ready, limited, insufficient, or unknown
sensor.backup_checkup_recovery_recommendation	highest-priority recovery action
sensor.backup_checkup_restore_simulation_status	structural protection-check state and stages
sensor.backup_checkup_runtime_test_status	optional isolated runner-test state
sensor.backup_checkup_last_restore_test	documented external restore-test timestamp

Analytics sensors

Entity	Purpose
sensor.backup_checkup_size_trend	increasing, stable, decreasing, or insufficient data
sensor.backup_checkup_average_backup_size	average comparable backup size
sensor.backup_checkup_longest_backup_gap	longest observed gap, Expert detail
sensor.backup_checkup_automatic_success_rate	locally observed success rate
sensor.backup_checkup_consecutive_automatic_failures	latest consecutive automatic failures
sensor.backup_checkup_activity_log	bounded privacy-safe journal state and attributes

Problem binary sensors

binary_sensor.backup_checkup_problem aggregates all problems. Specific causes use the binary_sensor.backup_checkup_ prefix:

• automatic_schedule_missing
• automatic_schedule_overdue
• backup_manager_unavailable
• storage_error
• backup_size_suspicious
• latest_backup_incomplete
• backup_not_redundant
• required_location_missing (Expert)
• backup_integrity_problem
• backup_integrity_warning
• backup_checksum_changed
• external_copy_missing
• backup_content_changed
• recovery_checklist_incomplete
• external_dependency_unprotected
• restore_test_overdue
• recovery_plan_incomplete

Buttons

Entity	Function
button.backup_checkup_run_recovery_assessment	runs the complete non-destructive backup protection check
button.backup_checkup_verify_latest_backup	disabled compatibility alias for the structural pipeline
button.backup_checkup_refresh	immediately reloads inventory and evaluation
button.backup_checkup_test_notification	sends a test notification when targets are configured
button.backup_checkup_clear_activity_log	clears the active journal

Storage-location devices

Expert mode can expose regular backup count, newest backup timestamp, age, size, total stored size, and a problem binary sensor for each native storage agent. Technical update snapshots remain separated in attributes. Agent IDs are normalized for entity IDs, for example sensor.backup_checkup_local_latest_backup.
