Soo, someone was backing up their @homeassistant on its own local disk, instead of something outside the VM which runs HA 🤦‍♂️

@limelight79 I am saying two different methods of backup i.e one at file system level.. which the home assistant provides (to a cloud or local object storage) and one at block level (which I think where the snapshots you were referring to come into play)
