just like the title already said, is the ZHA restore .json in HA backup?

no; the HA backups include the ZHA database and will restore things back to the existing state - it will assume the same zigbee coordinator is still present.
that said - I think you might be able to "reconfigure" the zha integration to migrate to a new radio without the previous radio being present? It's not something I've tried, hopefully someone else can confirm or deny that :/
more specifically, the network backups aren't stored in the json format in the HA backup, but are rather stored inside the sqlite zigbee.db file

Okay, so can I restore the ZHA config/db only and not the HA completly?

I don't think there's any way to do that from the ui; since ZHA is an integration it would require doing a whole "Home Assistant" (core) backup/restore.

I hae zigbee.db and zigbee.db-wal in the backup

If zha isn't running, it might be ok to manually replace only the zigbee.db* files in your data directory - but I don't know whether that would cause issues or if it depends on configuration elsewhere :(
in other words - make sure you do a new full backup before you try that :)
balmy basin
Yea, that's for sure 😄
Yeah, restoring the zigbee.db worked, but the names are still gone. Guess they are saved somewhere else.
eternal osprey
device/entity names would be stored in the main home assistant database, yeah
so you might actually want to restore the full ha backup then, unless it's so old that you'll lose something important.

I'm gonna do a full backup, it's only 3 days old.

Hmm. well, i was curious how hard it would be to generate a json zigbee network backup from the sqlite database, turns out it's this hard: https://gist.github.com/kepstin/e51491855be7abd936a54143704988c7 (that wouldn't really have helped you tho; would have provided the same results as restoring the whole zigbee.db did)
