ha-backup-tool is a backup utility developed by librun and designed specifically for Home Assistant, the open-source home automation platform. The software falls into the backup and data protection category, serving users who need to safeguard their Home Assistant configurations, settings, and related data against loss or corruption. Its primary purpose is to create backups of a Home Assistant installation, making it useful in scenarios such as preparing for system upgrades, migrating an installation to new hardware, recovering from failed updates or configuration errors, and maintaining routine snapshots of a smart home environment. Because Home Assistant setups often accumulate extensive customizations, automations, and integrations over time, a dedicated backup tool addresses a practical need for both casual home automation enthusiasts and more advanced users managing complex deployments. The tool can be applied in use cases including scheduled backup routines, pre-update safety copies, and disaster recovery workflows, helping users restore their systems to a known working state when problems occur. The current release of ha-backup-tool is version 1.5.2, which is the only version presently listed in the catalog, indicating a single available release at this time. As a focused utility rather than a general-purpose backup suite, ha-backup-tool targets the specific requirements of the Home Assistant ecosystem, providing a specialized option within the broader landscape of backup software. Users evaluating backup solutions for their Home Assistant environments can consider this tool as a dedicated alternative to manual file copying or generic backup applications that lack awareness of the platform's structure.
