After update to 16.0.0 all flows and notes are gone

Third party integrations Node-RED

The time I realized what had happened it was too late. I’ve lost my entire Node Red configs. Gone. Checked my backups and all my backups I had have already been broken. I’ve majorly stuffed up. :confused:

Because of that I do run NodeRed as a docker outsite HA.
Until now never a problem

Beside that I do regular export my setup from NodeRed to my NAS

Damm, I just found out.
My backups only go back 7 days.

I think will move away form HA now, to many things have broke since 2023 update’s

I’m running NodeRed as a Docker under Unraid. Works perfect.
I use NodeRed as Addon as backup

You, Sir, are a ROCKSTAR!!!

Thank you!

I just noticed this myself on my HA install. Read over a lot of the posts here but I discovered an even simpler way to restore things. Caveat being my stuff is fairly simplistic so the restore was painless with the way I did it:

  • Grab a full, core, or even a NodeRed addon backup. I found I didn’t have a suitable core or full backup going back pre v16 but even a very recent NR addon backup has a .flows.json.backup file which contained all my old flows. Grab this!
  • In my scenario, my addon_configs was already empty. There was nothing really to do on the HA side of things.
  • Go into NodeRed and in the menu choose import and import the .flows.json.backup file and voila! Everything was back.

EDIT: Looks like a few posters already mentioned this specific solution. So I guess that just adds me as a +1 confirming this as a solution.
