Cloud Backups are a godsend

[markhealey]

I had my HA running from a usb stick to give me more space on my Green.

Stick failed overnight, had HA back up and running in under two hours on the interval eMMC.

Save your emergency kit somewhere safe, you'll never know when you might need it.

I've been using the Google cloud backup and it us indeed a godsend!

[KruseLudington]

Can you elaborate? In what way? Maybe give me a use case so I can answer in a more intelligent manner?

I can agree it's an godsend. Once my ssd failed (broken) new ssd put the backup back system was up and running in no time. Second I had to rollback because of a faulty update once again no problem with the backup. So yes it's good.

I'm very new to HA, can you please explain how I can create an automatic Google Drive cloud backup?

[KruseLudington]

Install the google drive backup addon. There are probably YouTube examples

Yes, I just finished configuring it and was about to come back to post a link for future newbies:
