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

    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.

        The reason I do it that way is because I have my password manager in KeePass and do the database backups in the same way. So when I’m doing one of them, I do the other at the same time, just for consistency’s sake.
