How do I make sure everything is backed up?

I thought I was good, but now I’m not so sure…

I have Home Assistant configured to back itself up. Then those backups are duplicated to other storage.

Then I added the ZWA-2 Zwave adapter connected via a Waveshare ESP POE device. Come to find out, that has a seperate backup system to backup the ESP’s NVM, so I created the scheduled backup for that, and another automation to copy those backups to other storage.

Now today I just discovered that the ZWA-2 also has it’s own configuration backup. However, there appears to be no way to automate that backup, just a button to download one that downloads a .bin file.

So…How do I create an automated backup of the ZWA-2’s configuration?

What other backups am I missing?

Are you sure the HA backup does not include ZWA? It backs up all apps. I don’t use ZWA but it backs up all my zigbee stuff.

You are talking about backing up the code stored on the stick I bet.

That’s not part of home assistant, so you would need to update that manually if you add or remove devices, then store it in your HA drive somewhere ant would be backed up with the rest of your data.

If that’s not what you are talking about, then what Arh said.

I looked into the Autobackup tar file, and it does appear that the zwave core backups are getting pulled in to that.

Inside of the core zwave backup tar file is a directory of bin files that are the same size as the bin file when I manually do that backup.

So it does indeed look like everything is getting captured.
