HAOS Data Disk how to restore

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone has experience or can point in the right direction about how to manage the DataDisk in case of restore or DataDisk doesn’t provide this capablity
I followed the instructions and I managed to move data to a separete SSD USB

Now I’m asking myself what I have to do in case I need to re-install HA, how can I re-use the data that is already in the DataDisk? or there is no way and using the DataDisk benefits are related only to disk I/O

I see others had similar questions without any answers :frowning:
