As I understood a backup of my Homey system will be done everynight automatically and 7 backups will be saved. When I look at the backup page in the app, I can only see one backup, which is updated every day (the date is changed everyday).

Should it not show the 7 backups and isnt’t it possible to delete and manage and keep the backups as wanted?

And how do I do if I want to restore the backup, I don’t see any “restore” button?

Thanks!

Please do a little bit of research yourself first next time..

Backups;

> Athom has released Homey Cloud Backup service in the latest firmware (4.0.0) and a restore option in the mobile App and [Web based Homey Setup](http://setup.athom.com/#). You need a [Homey+ subscription](https://homey.app/plus) to make backups and to be able to restore backups. As Alpha tester I already tested restoring my production Homey to a second Homey. I want to share my experience and give tips to migrate for example your Homey to a Homey Pro. (or just any type to any other Homey) This report is based on tests wit a pre-release version …

In the App you see _only_ the state of the _latest_ Backup. All others you can see (only see!) here:

> **[Meine Backups | Homey](https://homey.app/de-ch/account/backups/)**
>
> All deine Homey-Backups an einem Ort.

Restoring a Homey you have to select which backup should be restored.

Asking for fun? I gave you the answers that you could find with a single query and asked you to do some finding out yourself next time… not sure how much more you’d want from me, maybe present it on a gold platter?

@Hannes has kindly answered your questions by giving some links ( 1 link is the same as CyberSponk’s link) and a kind request to do some research yourself next time, I agree with that, you always are allowed to ask questions, but it is not fair to let other people do the search that you can do easily yourself.  
for “One more question.” you only had to read the link that Hannes already gave.

The restore process asks which backup to restore during the restore. The selection is **only** available when you have **started** the restore process.
