Restore from Backup on New Installation - HA Core

You cannot restore backups in a Core installation. Only supervisor restores backups and core-only installations do not include supervisor. As it notes in the backup integration:

This backup file can be used if you migrate to Home Assistant Operating System.

That’s all it can be used for. If you are looking for a backup and restore process for a core-only installation or to migrate between two core-only installations then you must set one up yourself.
