Hi All
I’m struggling to use the inbuilt backup/restore method to enable me to move my HA installation from the current sdcard to a usb attached ssd. The usb attached ssd has a known fully compatible usb to sata controller chip and has previously been working as a ssd based RPiOS desktop build.
Hardware: RPi4B, initially with sdcard, wanting to transfer to ssd
Home Assistant 2023.8.4
Supervisor 2023.08.1
Operating System 10.5
Frontend 20230802.1 - latest
Network: Lan and hidden ssd wifi
Some general background, the hidden ssid network connection allows the HA box to access devices that aren’t connected to and air-gapped from the main house network.
With a fully configured HA created and running perfectly on internal sdcard (full access to cards / automations / both Lan and hidden ssid wifi)
Create running HA full backup:
- Create full system backup via HA /system/backup
- Download full system backup to local desktop
- Clean shutdown of original HA sdcard
- Power off RPi4
- Remove sdcard
Restore previous full system backup to new HA build:
- Download the latest HA image for RPi and flashed it to the usb ssd using Raspberry Pi’s Imager utility.
- Connected freshly imaged usb ssd to RPi4
- Powered on RPi4
- Performed assisted install and selected restore from backup
- Uploaded full system backup previous taken above
- Wait for HA to become available again
- Login to HA with original username and password
Everything has been restored EXCEPT for the wifi configuration?
What am I doing wrong, or what additional steps have to be added to ensure the hidden ssid wifi network configuration is fully restored?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts…
Phil
