## What it is
A Home Assistant add-on that automatically creates scheduled backups and syncs them to Google Drive, with retention cleanup and restore-from-Drive capabilities. It provides a web UI for configuration without requiring YAML editing.

## Use cases
- automatically back up home assistant to google drive
- schedule home assistant snapshots and upload them to the cloud
- restore home assistant from a fresh install using drive backups
- clean up old home assistant backups so storage doesn't fill up
- get notified when my home assistant backups fail
- offsite backup for home assistant configuration

## When to choose
- you run Home Assistant and want a set-and-forget offsite backup strategy
- you want a guided web UI instead of hand-writing YAML backup configs
- you need disaster recovery that can restore directly from Google Drive

## When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant or don't want backups stored in Google Drive
- you need backups to a different cloud provider like S3 or Dropbox
- you prefer fully manual or scriptable backup tooling outside the Home Assistant add-on ecosystem
