# Restore Home Assistant

Like backing up, you have two ways to restore Home Assistant:

### 1. Restore Home Assistant in iSG

Go to **Add-Ons > Home Assistant Server > Restore**.

Select the backup file from the default backup folder, or click **Select File** to browse and choose one from an external drive.

iSG will display *“Restoration is successful”* and then automatically exit the restoration page.
