With Hass OS, to backup your configuration you have predefined full backup and a partial backup options, and the partial backup requires you select what do you want to include every time.
It’ll be very helpful to have an option to select what you want as part of a partial backup and save it as another “predefined” backup option or type so you can choose in UI every time, and maybe even as a cli key to create that kind of backup from terminal.
For instance I don’t want to backup the frigate videos that are stored on the media sources, nor some music that I have there as well for the media player, so to me that’s a type of backup that I’ll like to save as a regular backup option (“full backup minus media folder”)… this using the preexisting options, I’m not saying allowing to select specific folder content.
There’s a list of apps that will not only schedule your defined backups but also copy them off your system in case of storage corruption listed under step 5 here: Common Tasks - Operating System - Home Assistant
