How do I back everything up? SOLVED

Regarding restoration, is the routine as follows:

  • Backup from the Snapshot menu.
  • Preserve backup file away from SD card.
  • If system should need to be restored, download the most recent HASS.IO image and start fresh on your SD card.
  • Setup Samba.
  • Copy the backup to the backup folder.
  • Use the Restore in the Snapshot screen.

Is the version of HASS.IO installed at the time of the backup critical to a successful restore, or does the backup only contain configuration information for HA? Thanks!
