Anki locked out all my cards and wouldn’t let me look at them, I restarted my computer as it said online to try and all the cards were gone. I then tried to restore from several of the backups I have saved and got this:
Anki 2.1.20 (47a1bf8b) Python 3.8.0 Qt 5.13.1 PyQt 5.14.1
Platform: Mac 10.15.7
Flags: frz=True ao=False sv=?
Add-ons, last update check: 2022-10-26 12:59:44
Caught exception:

I tried uploading from backup through the other way “upload backup” and got this:
Debug info:

I then moved Anki to the trash and tried to reinstall and when I try to upload the backups aren’t even there to click on
