There are myriad possible bugs and issues that can arise and cause data loss, especially when you upgrade major releases (for instance, from Jellyfin 10.9.x to Jellyfin 10.10.x). -In addition, Jellyfin does not have a downgrade mechanism. This is very important to understand; once your Jellyfin instance has been started with a new version, any pending migrations are immediately applied, and your Jellyfin data will no longer work with the old version. The **only** way to restore your active instance back to the old version is to restore a backup. Backups are thus critical if you want to test Unstable versions, or before upgradiing to the latest version. In fact, when testing Unstable, it is best to back up much more regularly, perhaps using a cron job or similar automatic mechanism, to ensure that your data can be recovered if you hit a major issue. +In addition, Jellyfin does not have a downgrade mechanism.

Backups may also come in handy if you hit a bug. For instance, if a bug in the new version causes corruption of some aspect of the Jellyfin data, restoring from a backup means you can quickly restore to good data and apply any fixes to avoid a repeat. Without a backup, you would be completely out of luck in this situation.
