Google Drive provides you with 15gb of free storage, but if you need to upgrade to 100gb/mo, it’s only $1.99/mo. To get started, all you need is a Google Drive account and have Home Assistant up at running. Which you can definitely create your own snapshots and save locally, what happens if your computer crashes or gets stolen? What happens if you have a fire?įor those disaster recovery scenario’s, an automated and free backup solution is something every Home Assistant user should have setup. This same strategy should apply to Home Assistant. 3 copies of your data, stored on two different mediums, with one of those being offsite and offline. In the IT world, we call this the 3-2-1 backup rule. You should always backup your important data and files in multiple locations. Why should you backup to a cloud service? But if you’re more of a “set it and forget it” user, then you can probably get away with weekly or monthly backups. If you find yourself updating Home Assistant often, I’d recommend at least daily snapshots.
Home Assistant Google Drive Backup leverages Home Assistant’s snapshot feature to schedule snapshots as frequently or infrequently as you need. To do this, we are using a community addon called Home Assistant Google Drive Backup. In this guide, I’ll show you how to automatically create Home Assistant backups and save them to Google Drive in 2021.
