Missing Backup Plugin

What is the problem?

I am running Octoprint 1.11.0 on OctoPi 0.17.0. I do not have the bundled Backup plugin. I have made sure the filters in Plugin Manager are showing ALL plugins, enabled and disabled, bundled and external. It is not listed there.

What did you already try to solve it?

A lot of searching on the internet. I've tried to follow the instructions here to run backup from the command line. That results in the following error.

Error loading plugin backup

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes.

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No, the plugin does not show in plugin manager and the command line fails with the same error.

I can't see how to attach it to this post, so I put it on Github.

Hello @Rick_Seiden !

Have you had a look on the icon bar of the forum editor?

I'd start with attempting a force reinstall. SSH to the pi and run these commands.

/home/pi/oprint/bin/pip install --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir octoprint
sudo service octoprint restart

I'm having the same issue with OctoPi version: 0.18.0.

I would like to get the plugin working to have a backup to restore from to migrate to a newer Python version.
Does forcing a reinstall of octoprint not remove everything from the installation (plugins, etc.)? If so, thats not really useful when trying to make a backup of your installation.

The line "ImportError: cannot import name 'Match' from 'typing_extensions' (/home/pi/oprint/lib/python3.7/site-packages/typing_extensions.py)" from your .log-file is also present in mine multiple times. I could see this beeing the isse but have no idea on how to fix it...

A force reinstall of OctoPrint will not impact the already installed plugins, it will just reinstall the core OctoPrint application and all it's required dependencies.

I did, but I could swear at the time it would only allow images (which of course is not the case, but that's what I remember) :person_shrugging:

Thanks, I'll give that a shot after this print finishes!

That did the trick! Thank you very much!
