I recently ran into this error on my Drupal site after enabling the **Backup and Migrate** module:
Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: "Route "entity.backup_migrate_settings.canonical" does not exist."
at /var/www/html/your-site/docroot/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/RouteProvider.php line 208
This happened when I was trying to access some admin configuration pages, and it completely threw me off.
#### Root Cause:
Turns out, the route `entity.backup_migrate_settings.canonical` was missing. This is a critical route for the Backup & Migrate module, and if itās not properly registered, the module canāt function as expected.
#### How I Fixed It:
Hereās the step-by-step approach I followed to get things working again:
**Add the Missing Route**:
After realizing that the error was caused by a missing route, I opened the `backup_migrate.routing.yml` file (located in `modules/contrib/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.routing.yml`) and added this snippet to define the missing route:
entity.backup_migrate_settings.canonical:
path: '/admin/config/development/backup_migrate/settings'
defaults:
_entity_form: 'backup_migrate_settings.edit'
_title: 'Backup and Migrate Settings'
requirements:
_permission: 'administer site configuration'
3. **Clear the Cache**:
Donāt forget to clear the cache after you make changes to the routing file! Hereās the command to do it:
drush cr
4. **Rebuild the Routes (if needed)**:
If clearing the cache doesnāt seem to fix things (which didnāt happen for me, but just in case), you can rebuild the routes like this:
drush router:rebuild
