I’m running HA core via Docker on a Pi4 and since I’m starting to use it more and more I need to look at getting backups sorted sooner than later! My plan is to create a single backup file and to use rclone to back that up to onedrive for offsite storage. I was also looking to scp the file to another pi I already have running on the network that I can just spin up an immediate duplicate if my main device is down with little/no downtime.
If I were running it Haas.io it looks really easy to create a “snapshot” and that can just be backed up but I don’t think there’s anything out the box similar for core sadly? So in that case does anyone have any pre-made scripts they’ve used for a similar approach?
I’m guessing something along the lines of running the unix tar command on the home assistant directory ( (with the history db excluded) and then just backup that archive? Thanks!
Edit: I do have the configuration files backed up to Git regularly but I have a feeling it wouldn’t be an exact copy if I purely pulled those down and started another instance given things like .storage aren’t committed.
