Thought someone may enjoy this. The Idea is each time you commit to github home assistant makes a backup in .zip format to a network share
Works rather well I think

Why would you backup ? You can always restore an older version from Github. Or am I getting this wrong ?
This backs up everything in my home assistant directory including secrets, sensitive python and .sh scripts as well as some media such as white noise or doorbell tones. It’s super nice to have a local backup of my work and really isn’t taking up all that much space.
I’ve also found it useful to go back and look at files in my editor of choice which is nice not to search around.
