Yeah - I know I have to do it. Just been putting it off
I have a couple of installs of NR - my primary one is on RPi4 (Homebridge image) and this is the one that is backed up and a test one on a Mac (with a bunch of nodes that are not in my live instance). I can install a fresh instance on a another Mac but not sure if a RPi backup will work if I put it on a Mac. Any thoughts on that?
UPDATE: It works! I had to rename two files (flows and credentials) but other than that, it was just copying everything from the .node-red folder into the one on my Mac. Thanks for making me do this…
A whole system backup will not work but for NR all you need is the .node-red directory contents and children. That is all JS and fully transportable cross platform. I believe the only thing that could trip you up is having different versions of NR or nodejs installed.
Uhm … Yah … I put it off … just a hair too long. BUT, I was given graces and was able to restore from the old ssd that used to be my pi. #doasisaynotasido
Don’t you feel better now?
