Create a setting that we can configure The backup so that The switch “Automatic backup before update” is turned on by default.
Absolutely. The current default of off is annoying to me because I don’t always remember to enable the setting when I do an update of whatever is being updated. This also was the default before the end of the year revamp of the backup system.

I’ve got the same issue.
In the meantime is there some way to hack this to make it default on? E.g., something I can do in tampermonkey, or in some hidden yaml file somewhere?
Agree, an option in yaml that anyone who knows what they are doing can set to backup as default. Before this change it was always on, which I think is sensible before each update. Right now I often forget to switch it on and although I have the backup from last night I still would prefer the most recent situation from before the update started to restore in case something does go wrong.
I don’t think I have ever needed it in the roughly 3 years I’m working with HA but backups are important.
