New backup system failing to backup /addons directory #6457

Description

Describe the issue you are experiencing

Did a recent restore and noticed the /addons directory was not restored. Looking at old backups I see addons_local.tar.gz included, but that is no longer the case.

HA then created a repair saying that the local add-on was going to be removed.

Please see this forum post with images and details.

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Which operating system are you running on?

Home Assistant Operating System

Steps to reproduce the issue

To confirm, I just now started up the latest HAOS (in Proxmox), installed ssh, and created a local add-on in the /addons directory. I then installed that add-on.

I then created a backup selecting all options.

Notice, it backed up the freshly installed local_hello_world add-on, but there's no addons_local.tar.gz backup.

~ # cd /backup/

backup # ls
Automatic_backup_2025.12.5_2026-01-04_12.27_52788560.tar

backup # tar -tf Automatic_backup_2025.12.5_2026-01-04_12.27_52788560.tar
homeassistant.tar.gz
a0d7b954_ssh.tar.gz
local_hello_world.tar.gz
share.tar.gz
media.tar.gz
ssl.tar.gz
./backup.json

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

Nothing of interest.
