Amen to that! Don't forget HSTouch in your backup. I am a linux shop but run HStouch on virtual windows machine. The drive got corrupted and I lost some of my more recent changes. Six weeks since my last backup. I hate it when I am stupid.

I have to agree with you Tony. I also recently got an unexpected first hand 'remote' look at how much my home is automated with not much maintenance at all. But I also saw how much I take for granite things will always run this smooth. Shortly after I returned home the system started acting up. I believe it was a corrupt settings file but I was able to grab a back up of the HS3 folder and restore.
I can't stress how important it is to have backups of your HS3 folder, I was lucky that I was at the least doing weekly backups and was able to restore. Now I run a backup everyday to different external drives.
I am almost three months into retirement and realized I need to start documenting what I have done over the past 20 years. Also how the system can get switched off and run locally

Carted off to Hospital
Just thought I'd post this (don't post that often).
I had to go into hospital at very short notice last week. Nothing to do with Coranavirus - won't bore you with the details but it did involve a fairly urgent operation.
During that time Homeseer and HSTouch were an absolute godsend as I was able to keep an eye on the house and whilst a lot of automatic events ran I was able to tweak things a bit and check on the cameras, etc.
I'm a few days past retirement age now and I think that the role Home Automation can play in making things just that little bit easier (and safer) doesn't always get the mention it should.
Kind Regards
