I want to move following functionality from a raspberrypi running on raspberrypi os, to homeassistant (ha os) on a different device.
I’ve mounted a NAS and run (by means of cron) scheduled calls of rsnapshot to efficiently have hourly, daily, weekly, … backups of my data. The data is put on the local drive of the raspi and can - in case of truble - accessed (read-only) via smb.
How can I achieve that functionality in ha os? I’ve mounted my NAS as a storage device and I’ve lots of local space on the ha device (m2 ssd).
How can I install rsnapshot or rsync to be triggered by an automation?
Didn’t find any addon. I guess I’m on a wrong path
Home Assistant has built in backup functionality that can be automated - see the docs here.
You can create an automation to create full of partial backups using the backup ‘action’ as well.
The default store of backups can be reconfigured. However, a lot of people use an add-on called google drive backups which can automatically backup your instance to google drive at defined intervals.
