Recover My Files is designed as do it yourself data recovery software for computers, laptops, digital still and video cameras, iPods and MP3 players. Recover My Files can save home and business users by recovering deleted files lost through deletion, accidental format, power surges, viruses, human error or software glitches.
One of the major draw cards to this software is the ability for users to download the software from www.recovermyfiles.com and run it in evaluation mode. The full preview of documents and photos provides potential customers with certainty that their files have been located and can be saved once an activation key is purchased.
I am still able to boot and during the first few minutes everything seems to be working, but after a while Zigbee2MQTT stops working and logs a lot of file system related messages. Also the Google Drive Backup Plug-in fails after a while due to file system errors.
If you have a new SSD you could try cloning the old one using Macrium Free ( I seem to think you can disable error checking) and see if it works, failing that installl HA to the new SSD and restore your most recent backup if you have one and its still relevant.
If that is the case, create a backup, and download it.
Then install a fresh installation of HA on the new SSD, and copy the downloaded backup to your new installation using Samba, and restore it to your backup folder. After that you can restore your backup.
full backup is not needed and may be difficult in broken state. you only need /config folder ensuring you copy the hidden .storage folder. if you have this, you may use this to restore your install by copy these files to new ssd with new/default installation.
You may need any files under /usr/share/hassio/. Atleast under supervised its called so, dig a bit there. With this, you can maybe get all Addon configs back, but need to place them by hand into the new system and reinstall them by hand.
I successfully recovered my system over the weekend. Unfortunately restoring the config directory did not work. I had to restore the partial backup, install all my plug-ins, and configure my plug-ins again. I also had to remove and re-add the MQTT integration. But now everythign is working again. Thanks for your help!
Personally, i do HA supervised backups only when updating one component or when i wanna test something critical. But sincei run HA supervised on ubuntu, i can use my backup program, veeam backup and replication, to backup both my boot drive (where home assistant is installed) as well as my media folder (located on another drive, but mounted under /usr/share/hassio/media). the backup is stored locally on the HA server as immutable backup (no chance for ransomware) and also copied over to my new, bigger server with raid10, since i got it gifted long after getting my HA server up and running and still wasnt in the mood to replace the smaller server.
