Moving from a Raspberry PI-4 to a Dell Thin Client

Installation

Has anyone migrated Home Assistant from a PI to a Thin Client Dell? My question, is it possible to restore a backup after bringing the little Dell up with Home Assistant or do I have to completely rebuild all the Integrations and Add-ons on the new platform?
Thanks!

I have moved from pi with microsd, to pi with ssd, to dell wyze client, and finally to a Chinese nuc all with just restoring backups.

I just download the latest backup and shut down the old unit. Move all USB items to new system and upload the backup and restore after logging in with a made up login.

Part of the point of backups is to allow you to rebuild after hardware failure.

So yes, you can take that backup from the Pi and restore it on another (HAOS) install.
