I recently setup hass.io (home assistant OS) on a new RPI 4 that I bought. I originally set it up with a 16G SD card, but later upgraded to a 64G SD card for more space. Searching online I couldn’t find a very good guide on how to restore from a hass.io snapshot. Here is a brief way it can be done using the ssh plugin:
- Install the ssh plugin.
- Add your public ssh key to the ssh plugin config and start the plugin.
- Copy your snapshot to /backups. I used scp:
scp ~/Downloads/Hass_io_20191215.tar root@10.0.0.90:/backups - SSH into the RPI and run
hassio sn reloadso hassio loads the new snapshot from the filesystem. - Now that the snapshot is loaded you can restore via the GUI, or run
hassio sn restore -slug Your_Snapshot_Slug_Name [-password Your_Snapshot_Password]
Hopefully that helps someone in the future, who wants a quick and dirty guide on how to restore hassio from a snapshot.
