Data and backup
Data storage¶
All repository data is saved in Home Assistant to files under .storage (hidden by default).
Creating a backup¶
All HACS data is part of the regular Home Assistant backup. Make sure to regularly backup Home Assistant and store the backup files somewhere safe outside your Home Assistant instance. So that you can restore from the backup if needed.
