what is taking up all that space? what should i backup so that i can restore HA up and running with all the Add-ons configuration? I dont need past records/events… just the bare essentials for them to be up and running.

Download the backup and open it with winrar or winzip. It’s just a compressed file, assuming you have not password protected it.
