Same result for 1.35.1-1 version backup and 1,5 year backwards even. Now I'm wondering where the device data should be if it is not in the addon's backup file.

Only these files are in the backup:

./addon.json
data/
data/options.json

Same as above, just the options.json file..

I have found out that Zigbee2Mqtt addon provides backup functionality itself (basically it will make zip file of /data folder) which include all device settings, eg. friendly names and so on. Mind blowing, it seems not to be integrated to native addon backup feature.

Any ideas what that would mean in implementation? People are expecting that backup of addon would include all needed data to restore the addon. Clearly that is not the case currently.

I saw that earlier and as far as I'm aware, this is the only addon that does this... doesn't make me a happy camper having to run a 2 step process to get a zip backup when IMO , should be in the HA backup strategy...

This is very bad, as some of use use backup plans and make regular automated backups of HA. In my case, I use the „Home Assistant Google Drive Backup“ to do this. So the resulting Backup is worth than nothing

I checked a bit why this happens but cannot spot the error yet. The HA addon backup code creates a backup of the config which the addon defines here. Would be greatly appreciated if someone with more knowledge about HA addons could investigate this (I don't have a HASS setup myself)
