Restore hangs after resetting home assistant green with SD Card method

I am trying to find out why when I do a reset by sd card and then try to restore my backup it has errors and issues.

please help

  • Installation methodHome Assistant OS
  • Core2025.12.1
  • Supervisor2025.12.2
  • Operating System16.3
  • Frontend20251203.1
    this is what i have before the restore.

Connection lost. Reconnecting

is what keeps happening

My first thought is a bad SD card. That guess works more than it doesn’t… How to Troubleshoot Raspberry Pi Crashing

its a home assistant green.

it works 100% fine until I do a restore, then it hangs.

I think it has to do something with versions of the ha green and the backup maybe?
