I’m a noob, had my Pi4 running on an SD card for 4 weeks - got Node red controlling the house nicely, learnt a lot. Noticed the time and date was wrong and weather.met stopped working so checked and it seems it was DNS related possibly.
Changed the settings and it refuses to boot now, will not ping, no web page.
It was set up using the default image from Hass.io
I have no monitors or keyboards here, it was dead-heading via my laptop/browser.
Is it possible the SD card has died already? I can read the card on my PC (a VM running on MAC laptop)
I have ordered a new SD card but of course we have no house control now until at least tomorrow, probably the day after. I do have Samba backups but no idea yet if they contain all i need to get back up.
I got a new image up and running on another SD card, tried a restore but all it did was revert the IP address to the base install one ( i changed it in config-server) and nothing else - no devices, entities, flows etc
When you connected to the new instance for the first time, it asked you to create an account or to restore from a snapshot. If you chose to create an account, you missed the easiest opportunity to restore your old snapshot.
Now you must copy the snapshot to the RPi4. To do that, you will likely need to install and configure the Samba Add-on then copy the snapshot to the backup directory. Once that’s done, the snapshot will appear in Supervisor > Snapshots and can be restored.
