I’'ve been scratching my head over this for the entire day, so let me see if the community can shed some light …
Context:
-
I’m running on a Raspberry Pi 3, and in the process of migrating away from a Supervised install running on an SSD to a Home Assistant Operating System install
-
I have a full backup (via the Google Drive Backup addon) of my system
-
My system still has an SD card with just ‘bootcode.bin’ and an empty ‘timeout’ file on it, or else it won’t boot from the SSD
-
I’ve flashed the image to the SSD, plugged it in and powered up, everything went well, HA starts up ok
-
If I go to the console on the Pi and type “core restart”, the Pi will reboot ok just file. I can shutdown and power-cycle it and it comes back ok as well
-
After the initialization is complete, I go to the web interface and select “restore” instead of creating a user. Select my backup file and perform a “full restore”
-
After the restore is complete, eventually HA is back exactly as it was when the backup was taken, including all configuration, dashboards, addons, historical data, etc.
-
At this point if I restart the host or powercycle it, it will not come back again, I see an error on the HDMI console
bus usb@7e9800000: usb dr_mode not found, plus some entries saying that no boot device was found on the USB bus.
Question: is there a way to restore a full backup from a different installation type (in this case it was Supervised running on Raspbian) onto a different installation type - I want to restore on a system running Home Assistant Operating System?
best regards!
