Comparing the new released [Homey Cloud Backup](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-cloud-backup-part-of-homey-subscription/24523) against my unfinished hobby project.

To give you an idea how both backup options differ and what the intended use is.  
Imho everyone dependent on a Homey needs the [Homey+ subscription](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-subscription/24522) but think for the geeks HCB&RWA can be a nice addition.

Just let me know if you think I should continue development and add extra functionality or that it is not necessary anymore and I should spend my time for other things.

Is it correct that the Homey back-up not back-up the logica in the more section?  
As mentioned in your overview.?  
Or Logics as you mentioned is something different?

Not sure where you exact point to 🤔

You can see the Athom Backup/Restore as almost 100%  
(only except the Reinstall of the newest apps from the store and no Backup/Restore of CLI installed apps.)

If you meant this. (Click the image te view online 😉 )

If you Remove one or more objects (Alarms, Logics, Flows etc) from Homey and want to restore just that ones or couple of objects [Community Backup & Restore for Homey v2 and Up! [Alpha Version]](https://community.homey.app/t/community-backup-restore-for-homey-v2-and-up-alpha-version/13727) is probably a better solution as you can restore these individually.

Thanks for your answer.  
It helps you mentioned it back-ups about 100%.  
I did translate individual the wrong way. You ment a individual logic or alarm separated from the total is not possible

@Dijker  
I think you have done an amazing job and helped a lot of users here… Probably the best you ever could, without having the resources that Athom have.  
It made clear how necessery a backup and restore functionality is.

Now that the “official” backup and restore is here from Athom itself, I think we would be so glad if you would develop other great apps for Homey. The ones which are not there yet.  
I would be thankful, I think a lot of users would too!  
Keep up the good work and thanks again!
