What is and what isnt included in the backups?

Configuration
1

I am using automatic backups. It does not work right now: Backup recover into new radio does not have original names, dashboard cannot find entities - #3 by vespuccio

so Im wondering: what is saved on those backups? Are scenes, automations, saved? What about zigbee2mqtt? Do I have to do a special different backup on it?

Hello vespuccio,

I believe the contents of /config or /homeassistant is saved. That is modified by the selections you make in the setup.

so if I mount the zigbee2mqtt folder inside /config, then it will be saved and restored?

What install method are you using?

it s docker compose with home assistant, zigbee2mqtt and mosquitto:

      command: 'mosquitto -c /mosquitto-no-auth.conf'

I added zigbee2mqtt-data to the /config in hopes it gets backed up, but backup is failing with 404 not found every time for me so I cannot test
