I thought I had a backup. I use the Gdrive add-on and it should have had a backup.

I didn't have a backup.

Turns out when I moved from a Pi to Proxmox I didn't set Gdrive add-on up properly, so it wasn't making backups every 3 days like it always has.

Then I killed Proxmox. No idea what I did to kill it, I just tried to make my NAS VM have 4gb ram all the time instead of Ballooning from 1gb, and it never booted again.

So I had to start fresh. But while I've only been playing with VMs for a couple months my HA instance has been a work of love since Lockdowns and COVID times.

And now I'm starting again.

Now go and check your backup solution.

Yes indeed, I am trying to revamp a little. It's slow work (because I'm trying to get a bunch of VMs running not just HA, we have Plex running again!) but so far I haven't even installed Node Red yet, and it's where I did all my automations.

So my Motion Sensor lights are all running in HA now rather than Node Red and seem to be ok. I haven't had a complaint that the bathroom lights have cut out on anyone yet, and that happened occasionally before.

Glad I've prompted you and you've found your backup lacking, that was the plan
