Are there instructions how to do this? I want to move it to the similar device with more disk space.
If you’re using hassio, just make a snapshot, copy it out somewhere, and restore it after installing on new device.
If you’re using any other method, just copy your config directory to your new install…

Thank you for your reply. I see how to download existing snapshot, but how do I upload it back to hassio? I do not see this option under snapshots.
I believe you install the new hassio, get samba going, and then drop the snapshot in the correct directory.
They really should implement a “first run” setup wizard that includes the snapshot restore capabilities, but I don’t use hassio so I can’t say much on that aspect.
and after that click the refresh icon to reload the snapshots into the system… then you can restore

Got it, thank you all.
I had trouble trying to restore a backup, I did not realize the refresh button had to be tapped, I figured rebooting the system would automatically check for backups. Apparently not…
By rebooting do you mean restarting HA? I think it’s the supervisor that would need to be restarted, not HA. (BTW you should NEVER reboot the host unless you can’t access HA at all)
Configuration - Server Controls - Server Management - Restart
I did that after installing SAMBA and copying backup to the /backup/ folder. Was not present. But the refresh button in the snapshot page did allow it to show up.
Yeah ok… so that is a standard restart HA which is what you should do. So unless the supervisor restarts, you need to refresh for it to show snapshots.
