Google Drive Backup without App Store

I’m using the docker version of HA, which has no app store. How to make automatic backups to Google Drive when having no access to the app store.

Hi Thomas,

I did some searching and found a few things with this search engine string:

site:community.home-assistant.io -“Add-On” backup container

My suggestion, however, would be to get a small NAS that you can connect to HA with HA tools and back-up there. You can always take some of the back-up files stored there and copy them to a cloud drive in case both HA and the NAS crashes.

There are people who do this but it is a bit involved manually. I m not one of them, I use HAOS.

Thank you very much for the information. I want to avoid as many extra permanent running devices as possible. Here in Germany energy cost are quite high and increasing. Thats the reason I’m not using HAOS and no PI but an tiny client with everything I need. My “NAS” is the router with an USB Stick. Maybe there is a solution to write the backup files on an USB Stick or a Docker backup container with access to the backup directory.
