      I ended up breaking the service I updated then tried to revert using my backup config and it ended up bricking. I updated from CE to plus last year I am guessing I will have to pay for the subscription now. I am hoping I will still be good if I do this. I think I heard you can put the config on the usb or something to have it auto install it. I have a few servers that are down at the moment because of this and its a bit problematic for sure. 5 years and this is the biggest issue I have had please help me out or point me in the right direction.

          The NDI won't have changed so you should be able to just upgrade again.

          What is it doing now? How far does it boot?

            Or just restore manually after it’s up again.

            Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
