Yikes! Node Red Flows not backed up with System Snapshot

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

It finally happened - my Raspberry Pi’s memory card got corrupted and home assistant stopped working.

So I imaged a new card with a fresh install of Home Assistant and restored a recent complete snapshot.

And now I discover that a complete snapshot does NOT include Node Red flows.

DOH!!

I don’t believe my old memory card is completely borked. If I can get it mounted on my Mac, where can I find my Node Red flows?

Should be in /config/node-red/flows.json and by the way should be included in a full snapshot.

Maybe restarting the node-red addon after the snapshot restore ?

Can confirm i have the flows.json file in my full snapshots : \4d869210.tar.\homeassistant.tar.gz\homeassistant.tar\node-red\flows.json

Hmm…you know what else helps?

NOT restoring from a ridiculously outdated snapshot.
