Have been trying to do this - but gets a “failed to retrieve image data: A timeout occured while retrieving the image data from the registry. Check the entered image value and check network connection”

So the image is from the support article, and i’ve got internet connection.

What do i do wrong?

It is working fine and fast on my QNAP, but how do I create a backup?

You assigned a share while creating the container. That’s the data of SHS. Stored ‘outside’ the container. So it won’t be deleted when the container is updated.

Just add this share to your backup plan.

Better though to power down homey before doing that… does not seem to be an option for that though.
