• Anyone any recommendations for a good method to back up Home Assistant to a network drive? There seem to be quite a few different options out there for doing this.

  • That depends on how you have it running I would have thought.

    Containers can just be copied in full (though may need to be stopped first - I have a cron job that brings one down, copies it to a NAS, then brings it back up).

    If it is installed locally, you could write a shell script that uses rsync to copy the base directory & config to the network drive, and have a cron job that calls that (I do this on my main PC to sync document & image folders).

  • I back mine up to Google Drive using Home Assistant Google Drive Backup, it works well and Google's servers are going to be more dependable than anything I can do...
