Today [I lost all my historical solar panel production data](https://community.homey.app/t/upload-historical-solarpanel-data/13780)! Of course, before I tried your backup feature… 😢

However, I can get historical data from the website of the inverter’s manufacturer.

Would it be possible to:

1. Make a backup now
2. Modify the backup to include the historical data
3. Restore the modified backup to get the historical data back into my Homey

Even better: this would allow me to get data into my Homey from before I wrote the driver to support my inverter!

@Dijker If so, how would I need to approach this?

(I must admit that I have not researched what’s currently possible; does a backup include data, or only settings?)
