If your backup is smaller than 5GB in size, you have the option to store an encrypted backup on Home Assistant Cloud.

Prerequisites

A backup will only be uploaded to Home Assistant Cloud if the following requirements are met:

• You are running Home Assistant 2025.1 or later
• Automatic backups have been enabled
• The backup is under 5GB in size

To setup a Home Assistant Cloud backup

Note: Home Assistant Cloud will only store one backup at a time on Home Assistant Cloud. It will always store your most recently made encrypted backup.

1. To setup a Home Assistant Cloud backup, follow the steps on setting up an automatic backup.
2. In the step on defining the backup location, enable Home Assistant Cloud.
   • Troubleshooting: If you do not see Home Assistant Cloud as an option in the list, you do not have Home Assistant Cloud enabled.
