Soo, someone was backing up their @homeassistant on its own local disk, instead of something outside the VM which runs HA 🤦‍♂️

#homelab fails

  • @limelight79 I would still advise doing an alternate method(along with snapshot) of copy i.e tarred config directory as done by HA. I am not sure what happened(error message indicated disk corruption)but I couldn’t recover from the vm snapshots I had.

      Do both, you’re saying? Maybe keep the daily backup and then do a weekly snapshot, something like that.

        @limelight79 I am saying two different methods of backup i.e one at file system level… which the home assistant provides (to a cloud or local object storage) and one at block level (which I think where the snapshots you were referring to come into play)
