@ -31,3 +31,38 @@ You need to restart Home Assistant after you add this configuration.
When it has started up again you will find a new "Backup" entry in the main menu (**Configuration** -> **Backup**).
The backup files are stored in a new "backups" subdirectory in the root of your configuration directory.
## Services
The backup integration exposes a service that can be used to automate the backup
process.
### Service {% my developer_call_service service="backup.create" %}
The {% my developer_call_service service="backup.create" %} service can be used
to create a backup for your Home Assistant instance.
The service has no additional options or parameters.
Example service call:
```yaml
service: backup.create
```
## Example: Backing up every night at 3:00 AM
This is a YAML example for an automation that initiate a backup every night
at 3 AM:
```yaml
automation:
- alias: "Backup Home Assistant every night at 3 AM"
trigger:
platform: time
at: "03:00:00"
action:
alias: "Create backup now"
service: backup.create
```
