What is your update policy? Are you on auto update, or do you manually go over stuff, do you pick a day to just flush it all though, or are you just on an old version?
Share why and how you run your updates? I would like to hear how you all manage them
I try to set aside time to do maintenance once or twice a week. I do a backup of my system using the standard backup tool then do the full upgrade of everything, starting with all the HACS and Addons, then the core OS stuff, then reboot. Then I test a few things and make sure it looks OK. I haven't had any issues yet but I know it is a matter of time. I have a second computer I will be testing restoring onto shortly, so I will make that part of my process. No point having a backup if you haven't tested it.
