The option to perform a manual backup is missing. I wanted to migrate to my new homey, but would like to perform a manual backup first. My Homey Pro Backup subscription is okay. ---

thank you, my app version is 7.2.0.1217. I would like to place backups on my NAS. But only get the options below in the app. ![Screenshot_2023-07-02-16-01-59-095_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/8/0894211f698bb0e1c6c31cb26e763f6459bf9e8f.jpeg) ---

What do I lose with reverting on a Homey Pro 2023 that’s already set up? Besides dark theme? ---

> [@Articate](#): > > Homey Pro 2023 that’s already set up? Besides dark theme? I don’t understand your question, The Dark theme is part of the Mobile App and WebApp. that will not change with a Restore. So a Restore of an backup always brings you back in time to the point of the Backup. Losing all changes (and Insights) since your Backup. Nothing more, nothing less. ---

Maybe I misunderstood. I started using the Test Flight app to be able to set up my HP2023, but if there’s benefits to now going back to the non-test app. So I was curious what I’d lose by going from the beta app to the old.
