I have HAOS installed on a VMware Workstation VM in Windows 10. I’m using several add-ons, but, most importantly, Z2M and Z-Wave JS UI.
Will a full HA backup cover the ZigBee and Z-Wave meshes?
I’m planning to move to ESXi with HA running on its own VM instead of being hosted by Windows. Just trying to get my ducks in a row to minimize downtime.
A full backup is exactly what it says on the tin. I have installed a blank copy of HA more than once and applied my full backup and Z2M etc. are all there afterwards.
Z2M stores a back up of your coordinator and restores it on boot. The Z2M addin is backed up in a full backup of HAOS
ZwjsUI stores it’s own configuration. The ZWave Coordinator actually stores the network. You can backup the stick with the NVM backup tool inside ZWaveJSUI (and I recommend you do often) zwavejsUI addon is backed up during a HAOS full backup
(this is also my configuration and I’ve used a restore to move between hardware)
Thanks for chiming in with some reassurance. I ended up going with Proxmox and everything is back up and running.
