FYI - There is an option to export and import flows. One by one. Though not entirely what you want, it’s still better than starting from scratch.

> It seems that a [recent update](https://homey.app/en-nl/wiki/homey-web-app-changelog/) of the web app added support for exporting and importing flows. I learned that in the web app, when right clicking an Advanced Flow or Standard Flow and simultaneously holding the ALT key, the context menu gets some additional items: The Export option creates an .homeyadvflow text file for an Advanced Flow (.homeystdflow for a Standard Flow), containing (I assume) the flow definition. I haven’t been able…

I like your implied idea of a selective restore: restore only or a selection of flows, variables, devices, apps, etc. @Doekse: would that be something for your development team to consider?
