Coming Soon: Backup Plus (local)

Your smart home runs locally—soon your automated backups will, too. In the next update we are introducing a new service, Backup Plus, the fastest way to save and restore your Hubitat Elevation hub directly to your computer, NAS, or local storage.

​Why go local in addition to cloud backup?

  • ​Instant Recovery: Restore your apps, rules, settings, and paired devices without waiting for cloud downloads.
  • ​100% Offline Access: Recover your setup seamlessly, even during internet or cloud service outages.
  • ​Total Storage Control: Decide where your files live, how many copies to keep, and your preferred retention schedule.

Introductory ​Pricing

Backup Plus will launch at $25/year, backed by a risk-free 30-day trial. Bundle it with a Remote Admin service and save 50%. For existing Hub Protect subscribers, this service is free.

​Compatibility Notes

  • ​Zigbee back-up: Supported on Model C-8 and newer.
  • Thread back-up: Supported on Model C-8 Pro Special Edition only.
  • ​Z-Wave back-up: Supported on hubs running Z-Wave JS.
  • ​Legacy hardware: Older hubs paired with external Z-Wave adapters may experience limited compatibility.

​Back up locally. Restore instantly. Keep your smart home entirely in your hands.
