So after running into yet another restriction on using my own hardware, I blew away my hass.io installation and reinstalled Home Assistant Core.
I made a full backup from Hassio, but I can’t figure out how to get the system to attempt to restore it. There’s nothing in the UI to upload a backup. I can create a new backup from the Backup UI, but there’s no visible option in the UI to restore the new one, either. I’ve copied the old backup file into /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/backups
, but it never shows up in the UI (not that I could restore it even if it did).
I’ve done a bunch of searching, but none of the options seem to apply
- There was never an option to restore from backup on the login screen.
- I tried to “click on the name of backup you want to restore…and you should get a pop-up for the restore” - no pop-up occurs.
- There’s no way to install addons in Core, so all instructions that involve Samba, etc. are unavailable.
I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but I’m at my wits end trying to figure out what it is. I’d love any advice anyone had to offer that isn’t installing hass.io again.
