Hi Everyone Not sure if this is the correct category? Sorry my bad, my first post btw
I have a Hassio instance running on a 8GB SD card on my RPI3.
And i would like to change to a 64GB SD card, and was wondering if it was good enough to just take a snapshot of the existing hassio instance and copy to my PC and then copying it over to the new SD card after a clean install on the new 64Gb card.
Will i lose plugins or add-ons?
I know that my Configs and everything will be copied when i take a snapshot, but will i lose anything?
I just want a plug and play type of thing with the expanded storage.
Do i need to clone the SD card and then edit the partiotion and make it bigger so i could use all of my 64 GB on the new one ?
What I would is do a snapshot put that on pc then do the 64gib thing start like new once all updated copy snapshot back to the backup folder on pi then do a restore and pray lol once restore I would do a hard reset ie power off pi and power it on
I have done this a few times (for myself and helping friends upgrade)… easiest way is as follows:
* Create a snapshot of your current Hass.io installation.
* Copy it off to a computer or network share using either the Samba addon or the community IDE addon.
* Install HassOS on your new SD card and log in.
* Install either the Samba addon or the community IDE addon.
* Configure, start, and open the chosen addon.
* Use the addon to upload the snapshot to the "backup" directory.
* Open the side-menu then click Hass.io > Snapshots.
* Click the Reload icon in the upper-right corner of the pane.
* Click the desired snapshot, ensure all boxes are selected, then click 'WIPE & RESTORE'.
* After it is complete, log in and verify everything is working as expected; if not, you can always plug in your original SD card.
As i tought it wasn’t harder than to just make a full snapshot, move it to a safe place on my PC and the reinstall hassio on the new SD card and download Samba Share and the drag and drop to the backups folder.
