Hi all
If my HA instance won't boot, can I extract the backup files from the micro SD with a Mac (Unix) and then use that backup file to restore after a fresh install?

Extract as in copy? If the MAC can read ext4 and the data is okay yes. Ideally your backups reside on a different medium than the data you back up

Mac can't read ext4 natively. There are tools that can do it (extFS for Mac) but the good ones are paid
@ember crystal Assuming the only computer you have access to is your Mac, the simplest solution IMO would just be to install VirtualBox and pass the SD card through to a linux VM and grab the backup that way
There's the free MacFuse and ext4fuse but honestly the configuration to get that combination working is probably more hassle than just setting up the Linux VM

Oh no I have everything
If it means I can recover my configuration, I have no problem at all throwing a portable distro on a flash drive and booting from that
I'm a computer engineer also doing SysAdmin so I have access to whatever is going to make recovering the backup/config easy

Extract as in mount the micro SD card, find the files I need and copy them off the card
Yeah, I realize that now, I should have been pulling the backups off the device on an interval

I searched both of these for "backup" and no results
Where do I look??
