Wled: Backing up your Nodemcu to a file
I have been using ESPHome-Flasher to flash my Nodemcu. Now that I have everything set the way I want it. Is there an app that will save it to a file to keep as a backup?

Read my mind. I came here to ask for a way, or if there is a way to export at least the presets. Would be nice to have sets of preset files for different holidays. A backup of the entire config would help too.

In one of the next versions, you will be able to simply export presets.json and config.json files.
For now, you can read back the flash and save it to a bin file you could restore with either ESPHomeflasher or esptool. You will need to install esptool, then run (replace PORT with the com port of your ESP, remove -p PORT if you don't know):
esptool.py -p PORT -b 460800 read_flash 0 0x400000 wled_backup.bin
Hope that helps :)

FYI Tasmotizer should do this but it doesn't seem to be working for me on Windows.
