Unfortunately their new backup support forces encryption; that makes sense for cloud-based backups but not for local (NAS etc.) ones. Requests for that just get replies to do it with manual backups the old way.
- tw04 1y agoWhy is that unfortunate? Encrypting backups is just a good best practice in general.
- mook 1y agoBecause that means I need to manage the encryption key (which is a file, not a password). It makes it harder to do restores because I need to dig out the key. I don't have anything I care about in the Home Assistant install to need encryption; if you have access to that you are already in the network, same as the actual running device.
- farawayea 1y agoIt is unfortunate if you want to deduplicate and encrypt in the target backup.
- badlibrarian 1y agoUnencrypted backups is an option.
