Assuming you need this up and running (now), I'd just restore the backup. Then you can investigate this upgrade issue.

Yes

I'm not sure if restoring the backup configuration will reactivate the freepbx module
i don't know for sure -

i don't know for sureThat is a concerning point for sure, and where support for this unit would be a great thing to have. Though I'm guessing it's too late for that.

I tried to contact the support center but have not yet had a respond

@DustinB3403
Thanks your immediate respond
During the upgrade I was monitoring the process and it ran up to 100% but after that it froze and there was no OK button or anywhere to click so I just refreshed the page and this is when the problem beganthat can happen a bit with FreePBX, sometimes it just needs to sit a long time, sometimes it completely fails.

Right, but his problem is that this DLink system is not actually FreePBX.
It is Asterisk with the FreePBX GUI. And then on top of it, that GUI is actually hidden, with DLink's GUI showing instead.
FreePBX GUI != FreePBX Distro.
This is the Elastix model of Asterisk. Nothing wrong with it, but when one of the underlying pieces fails, there is no obvious method of access or recovery.
Assuming that the unembedded FreePBX instance is actually running, you should be able to revert module there and such.
But seriously, without knowing a whole lot more, this is not something that is going to be simple to "just fix"

Makes sense. So this is a long dead product. Probably no way back then.
-

-

I will be very gratefull

No, that is not what I said. Elastix is dead, but this is not Elastix.
I said this is the Elastix model. Meaning that they used the same Asterisk + FreePBX GUI + Customized. There is nothing wrong with this model, as long as the vendor will be there to support it.

@wersiy in all seriousness, if this was me, the first thing I'd be doing now is replacing this unit. There's no reason to have it, it's a dead product without support (the vendor that D-Link gets this from went out of business some time ago, and the product that is used from them has been out of support for many years even while the vendor was still around, it was an abandoned product from a now vanished company.) Even when it was under support and still alive, an appliance of this product made no sense and was a bad idea.
Even before this died, it really should have been replaced. A replacement would be free, modern, and supported. The D-Link hardware is just adding risk without benefit.
This might be a huge pain, I don't know how many users you have, but even a thousand users is only so bad to migrate manually. A pain to be sure, but only so bad. Moving to something like true FreePBX (the distro, not the GUI) is your best answer. Works basically the same and is basically 6-8 generations newer of essentially the production version of the thing that you have on that D-Link.
Do you have any server(s) in your environment?
