I use Home Assistant and Matter Server. Both are set up with Docker Compose. For Home Assistant itself, I have set up regular backup creation and backup of the backups, so that I can restore everything if the server breaks down. For Matter Server, on the other hand, I have not yet been able to find a clear statement or instructions on whether a backup of its data is required. If a backup is required to restore Matter Server functionality without messing up the configuration in Home Assistant, which files need to be backed up?
I can see a folder named “credentials” and these files, created by Matter Server:
1234567891011121314.json
1234567891011121314.json.backup
chip_config.ini
chip_counters.ini
chip_factory.ini
chip.json
