This week I’ve had multiple HA fails on my Rpi after updates to add-ons or the main software. Sometimes it isn’t reachable after rebooting via the interface. Three times so far this week…
This morning I made some changes to the config. I took a full snapshot via the excellent Google Drive Back-up add-on. After a reboot, the device failed to come back up. I had to pull the plug, format the card and do a full card restore from an SD Card disk back-up I took last week. When it booted back up, I restored the snapshot from this morning.
And the config wasn’t restored. Nor was my lovelace interface.
So I’ve lost all the changes and additions I’ve made since last week, and completely lost my new lovelace layout. The Snapshot page within HA says “Snapshots allow you to easily backup and restore all data of your Hass.io instance”. But this doesn’t appear to be true.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a place my config may have been stored inside the Snapshot? Shouldn’t Snapshot include the Config folder too??
