Auto Backup is an Improved Backup Service for Home Assistant that can Automatically Remove Backups and Supports Generational Backup Schemes.

While Home Assistant does provide built-in services for creating backups, they do not provide the ability to exclude items from a backup, or a way to automatically remove them, this custom component aims to fix that.

For more information and examples check the documentation.

Configuration

After installing Auto Backup via HACS, it can then be setup via the UI, by going to Configuration โ†’ Devices & Services โ†’ Add Integration โ†’ Auto Backup or by clicking the button below.

Open your Home Assistant instance and start setting up a new integration.

Options

  • Automatically delete expired backups

    • This option will automatically purge any expired backups when creating a new backup.
  • Backup Timeout

    • You can increase this value if you get timeout errors when creating a backup. This can happen with very large backups. Increasing this might make Auto Backup less reliable at monitoring backups to delete.
