Was it me? I was also doing that until very recently.

Thanks for the reminder, I've subscribed to their cloud service since day 1. Time to actually use that backup feature.

@root @homeassistant It me. I don't see the issue.

I back mine up to my own local disk, but about once every three months or so, I pull a copy from the disk onto my phone. That way I have another copy of it that's not on the local disk.

My setup doesn't change that much in that amount of time, so I'm not particularly worried about losing a bunch of data.

Happened to me as well! Backed up to some local folder in /mnt because the NAS share wasn't mounted properly. Fortunately noticed before anything bad happened.

I’m not even backing up.

This reminds me, I use the internal ha backup (to a network drive). But I'm using Linux kvm, so I could be doing snapshots instead, which in theory are easier to restore.

I like to dump the whole VM every so often.
Overkill? Maybe. But I like knowing that no matter how hard I cock it up, I can spin an old version up.
