Lost courses after upgrading to Moodle 4.3.3+ - Urgent

Hi

I lost all the courses which are created withing last two years when I upgraded from 3.11 to 4.3.3
We had Moodle 3.10, so I upgraded to 3.11, and then upgraded to 4.3.3+ via web browser.
During the installation, the database update got struck at 'editpdf', so move that directory, and continued the upgrade.

Now I see all the recent (last 2 year) courses are missing. I am clueless now.

Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Thank you.

If an upgrade is stuck halfway the only recovery is a Site restore of a Site backup.

Whatever, you need to start at Before you post.. Read this..

When you upgraded from 3.10 to 3.11 did you stop at that point and check the site?
IF all was ok, did you make a full site backup of the 3.11?   Full backup is code + DB dump + minimal moodledata/filledir.

The failed attempt to 4.3.3 and your attempted work-around wasn't really a fix so you have to restore from backups the last functioning site backup.

Your DB has been touched for sure.

You might get away with just code and DB restore but 4.3.x had higher PHP and MySQL requirements (version 8's).   So could restore the 3.11 backups you made .. but not the 3.10 due to PHP/MySQL requirements.
