I have installed HA from an image downloaded from the website. Now I think I could install a native rapberry OS and install HA then so I still have possibility to install other linux software (for example cups) and even integrate them later with HA (if possible). My question is, if I can make any HA backup now, install new Raspberry Pi OS, install HA on Raspberry Pi OS and recover the backup?
Yes you can do that but how you do it depends on how you installed the new HA.
If you use a “HA Supervised” install then just take a snapshot of the existing system and restore it to the new one.
If you install “HA Container” then you need to copy the entire contents of the config folder (including all hidden files/folders) and the copy those to the new config folder once HA is installed on the new machine.
