Beside i suggest you read the First Post in this Forum How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question. Then you might get an idea of what People would like to know, And see , instead of your repeating text saying about the same 3 times.
- Did you ever checked your logfiles, after, fresh Install and During/After the “Restore” attempts ?
Logfiles says sometimes more, even if your not a programmer, and sometimes(Often) it’s what people wonders … What does your logfiles says ? - There has been a few other “Issues” lately with Pi3 and upgrades, even thou it’s doubtful it will help you., in your case.
- I suggest you try to First!, install 2023.10.0 ( or 10.5 ), and then apply an “Backup” which you suspect is working … which means, don’t try to backup to the previous/latest backup you can find, go a little further back., or even further ( 1-2 month )
- Yes your DB (any DB) could involve “issues”, i would wait with that, if possible
- A backup is a tar(zip) -file, which you can open in any unzip/untar program, and from there actually be able to find some of your “old” configurations, and many files are “readable”, others you can actually “copy/paste” … If you know what you are doing.
- EDIT: this felt out somehow
6+ Start a fresh install 2023.10.0(or earlier), then install all the addons/integrations, which have no i.e device-specific-configurations , like samba, file-editor etc etc.then try to update these
Then go on to i.e partial-updates
Don’t update to 2023.11.0
PS:
Dont even try to restore from this, download the backup-files, so you have them local, copy/paste them to you backup-folder, or somewhere reachable for your HA
