Any Proton Drive users here?
Proton Drive as a backup location
cross-posted from: https://feddit.nl/post/28357841
Are you interested in a Proton Drive backup location in Home Assistant's new built-in backup tool?
Screw Proton and their oligarch fellating CEO.
This right here, so glad I dodged that bullet.
I'm with you, but what's a equivalent service?
Posteo.de if you don't need a custom domain, Mailbox.org if you do.
For cloud storage it should be a different service anyways, it's best not to combine things with the same company. So for example Tresorit for storage, Bitwarden for passwords, Mullvad for a VPN, etc..
For what? I'm using Nextcloud self hosted on unraid and exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager for external access for storage.
Works fine.
I have not upgraded to the 2025 HA yet because of the backup drama of the first release. Probably will this weekend now that the major issues were addressed.
Unrelated to this topic but also zigbee2mqtt v2 seems to be a nightmare too I'm not ready to deal with that "upgrade"
I left to Tuta (E2EE and German based) and switched from Simple Login to Addy. Took less than an hour and it’s been smooth sailing.
I just want to say,what is up with people down voting a perfectly innocuous comment? You got two down votes as of this writing.
What did I miss? I've seen comments like this a couple times and I'm not entirely sure what happened.
What did John Lemmy, famous CEO of Lemmy, did this time?
Yeah, I love the backup features they've bought in. The ability to restore specific parts of Home Assistant is really great

I bet if you make it, some people will love it.
it seems much more niche than some other providers, but that's one of the great things about HA - lots of tinkerers use it, and some are bound to use Proton Drive.
Maybe this isn’t a robust strategy, but I run HA in Proxmox and have nightly snapshots of that VM. Anytime I need to restore I just revert to the appropriate snapshot
That, in combination with an offsite backup of some kind (such as the Google Drive backup) is a great strategy
Good idea. I should back these up to Tresorit from time to time as well. Thanks!
