Would like advice on home assistant blue replacement

Hardware

Hi all,
Just lately, my USB port devices have been a bit of a pain and loosing data connection.
Just got home froma weekend away and it seems the USB ports have intensified their attention seeking.
I use RFXTRX, skyconnect and z-wavegen5 stick in my ports (via a powered usb2 hub), but now all are problematic.

I need to replace my HA blue, keeping the setup (and z-wave nodes).
What are my options to make this painless?
Could i just take a backup, move back over to a PI4 and using the same gen5 z-wave stick, and restore the backup from the blue? Could it be that easy?
Cheers for any input

Yes. It’s that easy. The HA backup is platform agnostic. You could also move to an Odroid, NUC or any other platform that supports your usb sticks :wink:
