I initially installed HA Supervisor on a Debian VM. I just received a new HA Green box, so now I’m attempting to restore a backup on the Green box from the Debian install but am running into some issues:
- I created and downloaded a full backup from the Debian install, and then shut down the VM. Note - the backup file is only 50MB, so I would expect it to restore fairly quickly.
- Plugged in the Green box, waited for the initial startup, selected Restore from Backup, and uploaded my backup file.
- Waited for several hours before refreshing the page, which sent me back to the initial setup options.
- I then created a temp user, updated to the latest version of HAOS (so now the Core version matches what I made the backup with), and attempted to restore the backup from the file again.
- This time I get an “unknown error: see supervisor logs” message. The supervisor logs say that the backup file can’t be found.
- I decided to start fresh, so I re-flashed the Green box and attempted to restore from backup again after initial setup. Left it to run over night, but same thing happens. Navigating to the server in a separate browser window takes me back to the initial setup page, while the previous window is still displaying “Restore in progress” with a spinning wheel.
Pretty sure at this point the backup is stuck. While this was going on, I did manage to copy the /usr/shared/hasseo/homeassistant directory from the VM on the previous install, so I have those files if necessary.
At this point, I’m not sure if I should keep trying with backups, copy the files to the green box manually, or start from scratch with a new install (hopefully not). Does anyone have instructions for how to get a Supervisor install migrated to OS?
Thanks!
