What's the recommended automated backup / manual restore method for Home Assistant config?
I've only just started using it and already built up a time-consuming to reproduce configuration. That it runs on a RPi means I expect the SD card to fail without warning in several years when I least expect it. Would be nice to get the restore story nailed now.
- ImSorryButWho 6y agoAssuming you're running the full version with the supervisor and add-ons, I'd recommend the Home Assistant Google Drive Backup add-on[1]. You can set it up to take snapshots on whatever schedule you like and keep a rolling backup in the cloud. Restoration is now part of the new setup workflow, so you'd just flash a new SD card with the base image, and upload a snapshot as you go through the setup process. Poof, everything's back the way it was. [1] https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup
