Upgrade issue today

Hit upgrade, checked the “backup before upgrade” as usual.

But the UI hasn’t come back.

Tried restoring the backup from before the update though the cli and whilst I get enough UI to log in, it doesn’t get past the Loading Data page…

Trying to figure out where to look next, but I only have vnc access to the vm (no ssh for some reason).

ha core logs suggest that the hass objects can’t be found.

Well that’s weird… I just got a notification from one of my automations.

Ah - it was a bad recorder option in config.yaml…

But’s what’s ridiculous is that it’s been restarted a couple of times since I looked at extending the retention period…

I would assume the error catching logic was changed to make that a fatal error in the latest upgrade?

My assumption as well, doesn’t stop it being really irritating.
Also discovered that the auto backups are only partial - so I’ll change my process going forward.
