What is the minimum backup for HA and addons to work?

i dont know how my HA backups ballooned from MB to GB. and this 39GB was partial too!

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.


in Config folder, the larger file is 1.5 GB for the DB

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

i downloaded the file and see a lot of files are from Frigate.
media/frigate/clips. strangely, i dont see this Clip folder when browsing my Hass OS folders.
