You’re my hero too!
For a little over 8 weeks, I tried all sorts of ways to get back my data from over 2 years that I’d lost.
Sadly, I kept failing until I followed your routine, and now, with just an 8-week gap, I’ve got back my data from over 2 years.
The various images and comments from everyone else in the forum also helped.
The images made it easier for me to follow and understand some of the processes.
I run Home Assistant on a Synology DS 220+ NAS as a VM.
Thank you very much!!!
