Red interface failed after upgrade to 194

Well I am glad that things are back working.

:crossed_fingers: that it stays like that.

IPFire does do a backup of the system as the first part of an upgrade.

However that stays on the system and in case something goes wrong enough that I can’t access the IPFire directory structure then I always do a backup before each upgrade and copy it off of the IPFire machine. That includes the addon backups.

Only had to use it once but I feel good that I have it available in case I need it.

I also have a script that runs the backup every Saturday and the backup is backed-up up to my bacula backup storage daemon which is off of the IPFire machine.

Maybe a bit over the top but I will always have a backup available.

It came in useful to me when my hardware died catastrophically a couple of years ago. New hardware purchased and IPFire installed and the latest backup restored.

I finally got the system reconfigured after reinstalling

After putting it back in service, I upgraded the backup system from 192 to 194.

This time the upgrade went through fine, which is odd because the hardware is the same.

It did take a few tries to get the upgrade, due to net time issues.
