Note: The backup and restore function currently only works on the same iSG device. If you mistakenly restore to a different iSG, please power off the original iSG and do not use it again, as this may cause data confusion between the two iSG devices.

1）Usually, Home Assistant can perform restorations on its own page, but iSG uses the Home Assistant Core version, which requires restoration of backups to be completed through iSG. Go to iSG settings - Restore.

2）Directly save the .tar file (do not unzip) downloaded from the Home Assistant backup to a USB drive/SD card, insert it into the iSG, and click Restore HA.
