Can´t restore snapshot....What a bad day

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hi guys,

Yesterday, the update from 0.83 to 0.83.1 fried my hassio installation. I managed to get that work again after attaching an externa display.
Then, the sd card was not working anymore - great.

Today I bought a new card, installed Hassio, put my latest snapshot (yesterday) in the backup folder and restored it. It restored my addons, but nothing from the config folder. I also tried it by CLI, but the same.

What Am I doing wrong? Can I simply copy the content of the tar Archive in the config folder? There are some folders in the Archive (,cloud, .storage), for I don´t know where they belong.

Yes you can.

.cloud and .storage are directories in /config

it’s likely the snapshot is incomplete though… hopefully not!

May I ask, what is suposed to be in a “full” snapshot?

Yes it was a full snapshot, and I managed to keep it running again by copying the yaml files manually…saved 6 months of configuring (although I making three snapsjots every day to prevent data loss)

Very strange it didn’t restore correctly. I have never had it fail.
