Home Assistant Google Drive Backup does all i need.

I'd like to see a tutorial on how to back up Home Assistant to my Synology NAS. In your video, Synology listed in your HA Backup options, but you skipped over how to set that up.

Great video, tnx! I was always wondering how does a full restore look like, what does it contain and how can it be done on e.g. a standalone machine.

Can you go through converting the Dallas’s integration with esp home in regards to the changes to one wire

[michelrochette]

Very interesting for my project. I'm looking for an approach that would allow me to operate 2 HA (Pi 4 and other) at the same time. The Pi4 would be in operation and the other system would take over in real time. In other words, the second system would take over if the first stopped working. Have you ever discussed this subject?

how to backup on google drive ??? ( i would like to have it on local disk and on google drive) thanks

[jonirish]

How do you get to the page that you refer to (the one with the green banner)? It isn't the github repo and it doesn't appear to be the Auto Backup configuration page in HA as mine looks nothing like the one that you are showing.

All this talk of backing up with no mention or testing of restoring?

[BerkeleyTowers]

Well, this just broke my Got to the "restart HA" bit and now can't get back into it.... 🤥
