Thank you! When I first started using Home assistant, I had no need for a backup because it hardly did anything for me. Over the years, HA has slowly become more and more integral in life and now I'm realizing I do need the backup. I don't have a NAS at the moment so I am just using the Google Drive backup for now.

This is of course all completely correct and it’s great that there is now another backup possibility - thank you as always Lewis for sharing this. My problem is that when I lost everything, the Google cloud backup has just not worked, giving me back only a tiny bit of what had been saved. Still struggling to see if there is any way to get the full restore back. For a non computer guy, despite some online help, this has so far been impossible. Of course it is possible I did something to corrupt the back ups, but not sure how.

I had been using Google Drive integration for offsite backups for a long time. This new share mount functionality in Home Assistant is something I had been waiting for years to come to fruition. I know there were hacks, but I never got them to work reliably. This allows me now to have a proper backup system, and also to mount the share for my CCTV system into Home Assistant. It makes a lot of the add-ons that use storage a lot more useable. If you are ever thinking of NAS mount videos, maybe one to show how to use the new NAS Mount options in something like Plex or Frigate could be helpful? Thanks for all your hard work!

Was excited about the NAS build in support. But yes the main feature missing is deleting old backups. Wanted to stay away from the big cloud companies and also thirdparty integrations (but actually did know that you can manage backups in the gdrive integration and not use gdrive), so I worked for my own solution: I just created a new share for Backups on my Synology NAS which already has a 3-2-1 backup solution, so far nothing new or special :). But to cleanup my backups regualary I created a small python script which iterates over the backup tars, keeping a number of full backups and for partial backups (like when updating an addon updates) they will be kept for a specific number of days. Other will be deleted. This script I just added to in my NAS scheduler to be run daily informing me via email when there is a problem while cleaning.

@sleepingwonder Жыл бұрын

Didn’t he just mention the google drive backup feature automatically deletes the old backup from your local nas as well. My only question here would be security related I mean how are the backups being deleted from my nas , is it HA doing it up or is it the google drive integration able to access my shared folder on my nas which I think is not a secure way to do it

Nice tutorial Lewis! I run my HA in a VM and regularly snapshot it and then roll those off as backups but for those on bare metal this is a great way to achieve some security. It wasn't mentioned, but I'm assuming that the Google plugin isn't encrypting the backups before storing them so a password is the only way to add any security? I'm wondering if backup from the NAS would be a better way to achieve the same (though a bit more complex to set up) since you could deduplicate, encrypt or whatever else before you push it up to the NSA... I mean Google :) Actually, why bother? If you lose you HA instance just contact the NSA for a restore ;)

Great Lewis that has stopped me having to manually transfer my Google Drive backups to my Synology NAS. This video prompted me to think of an Idea for a video for you. In my experience with HomeAssistant the reason why I have had to re-install a backup has almost always been beacuse I did something wrong. I have considered having a development instancxe of HomeAssistant that would allow me to test before moving it into "production". My HA instance is on Proxmox so i could easily creat another instance but not sure how I would handle for example the Zigbee co-ordinator or MQTT. Could you do a video on the options for running a development HA instance?

I need a second NAS, extra complexity, costs, energy use... 2 We should strive to stay away from cloud services and (too) big tech companies as much as we can. Being on KZfaq is already bad enough. Still _a_ backup is better than having _no_ backup.

I used Google Backup in the past, but it wasn't really reliable and I would have needed to buy more backup space too for a good backup retention system. But my biggest problem were unreliable uploads. I use now Samba Backup, there I have a backup on my HA rig and the other one on my Synology NAS. All backups are automatically uploaded to the NAS and I can have a good retention system for my backups. Even different ones locally on HA and on my NAS. That system I use now for nearly a year and it works perfectly and I could even rebuild my HA easily once, after my first try to go from ZHA to ZigBee2MQTT failed. The Google Backup Addon isn't bad, but I had problems with it. Those problems came up after using it about 2-3 month. I had backups missing on my Google drive and that is a no go.

Used Google Drive backup for a long time and recently found Samba backup which worked well for local NAS backups. One thing I did struggle with, is the restoration of MariaDB. I've since read it can be a PITA to backup correctly (they suggest stopping MariaDB to back it up, although its now not meant to be a problem). I basically couldn't restore my backup properly and in the end managed it by having a fresh install, installed MariaDB but didnt start it, partial restored the backup with just MariaDB and HA config then restored the other add-ones. Was not pretty! Would be good if anyone has any tips/tricks to restore backups with MariaDB. Also had issues with Node-Red and Zigbee2MQTT. Hopefully I dont have to do it again for a while!

I welcome the network storage addition but, to me, Home Assistant backups are a p.i.a at the best of times. I've long since move on from them and have been running HA as a VM under Proxmox for quite a while now. All I do is back up the whole VM. If it dies, restoring the VM from backup is much quicker than the HA backup/restore process. If my Proxmox box craps the tin all I have to do is restore the VM to any other working Proxmox server (I have four.) Again, this takes just a few minutes. My HA VM is backed up to a USB HDD in the host Proxmox server and over an NFS share to TrueNAS (also a VM on a different Proxmox server) and to the cloud. No grief, no heartache... and I haven't even moved to high availability Proxmox clustering yet, but it's coming.

Running Unraid with HA in Docker is also super easy to backup. CA Backup plugin creates a backup into a share, and that share is coincidentally a MEGA share (could be Dropbox or something else). The MEGA share is also synced to the Unraid HDD, so I essentially have two backups (one off-site and one on the HDD in the Unraid server), although the Unraid "backup" is cheating, as it's stored on the same device as HA is.

Just one thing about Google - how to keep personal things private from the overlord's prying eyes?

Synology users: make sure you have enabled SMB3, otherwise no mapping in HA !

@MauriceBiermans Жыл бұрын

Maybe that helps me. I set up network storage to synology. Then made a backup to see if it ended up there. After a while HA said error. No files on Synology appeared. And I now no longer get into HA - Storage or HA - system backup screens. They remain blanc. :( All the rest of HA still works though. UPDATE: backup was made, it just took very long to upload the backup file to the synology share.

Seems that 'Storage' is not an option when running HA in a container.. GRRRR

This is great but Google drive is known for randomly deleting files so I would not trust it for a true off site backup. There are many other solutions to this: aws, azure, other services that have private encrypted solutions. Sadly free is not truly free.

Never had Google Drive randomly delete a file in like 10 years of using it

Is anyone else getting this stupid error? Could not unmount name due to: Transaction for mnt-data-supervisor-mounts-name.mount/stop is destructive (mnt-data-supervisor-mounts-name.mount has 'start' job queued, but 'stop' is included in transaction).

Great topic! The best backup is the one you never need. Second best is the backup that you need and have. The worst (but most common) backup is the one you meant to create. The google add-on is a great tip. I had a forgotten additional Google account that I can put to good use now. Indeed better than the NAS backup (and far better than local backup only). One minor thing if you use a 'fresh' Google account. Before being able to sync with Home Assistant, you should not only be logged in, you'll need to have actively visited drive.google.com at least once, which 'activates' it.
