Great first release of the year, backups have been on my to do list for a while 😳. Do you think Nabu Casa may consider a 'backup only' subscription in the future?
Personally I use a self hosted Wireguard VPN to access my Home Assistant and all my Voice assistant stuff is local. However off site backup is something I would seriously consider.

Thanks again team for all your incredible hard work.

@GreyLinux @homeassistant I backup from the #HomeAssitant Raspberry Pi to my desktop PC's disk. From where it gets backed up to the cloud with all the other data on the PC which I'm doing anyway, no separate cloud account needed just for #HomeAssistant. And all encrypted anyway, so no separate encryption system needed just for #HomeAssistant (I hope the new encryption feature can be turned off so that I don't have yet another key/password to manage or lose!)

Which all works fine ... except when I'm away from home and have taken the desktop with me (yes, weird, eh?) and I'm not exposing the Samba share over the internet.
