I am trying to get in touch with a real administrator of Umbrel who has access to the “Automatic Encrypted Backups” files to find my funds.
I have already done this and I came across this person who did so (Telegram: Contact @getumbrel):

i deposited 0.1 btc on june 7 at 5:49 am and opened a first lightning channel the same day at 5:51 am.
one of the channels opened afterwards (100048 sat) returned to my bitcoin wallet on June 7 at 8:13 p.m.
Does the backup file for the next day, June 8, look good to you?

Please also follow Step 1 only of [Telegram: Contact @getumbrel](file:///Users/soufflet27/Library/Containers/com.apple.TextEdit/Data/Downloads/Telegram%20Desktop/ChatExport_2021-07-04%20(2)/t.me/getumbrel/50080), then copy & paste this:
Deterministically derives 128 bits of cryptographically secure entropy
derive_entropy () {

umbrel_seed=$(cat “${UMBREL_ROOT}/db/umbrel-seed/seed”) || true
if [[ -z “$umbrel_seed” ]] || [[ -z “$identifier” ]]; then
&2 echo “Missing derivation parameter, this is unsafe, exiting.”
exit 1
fi
We need

In reply to this message
It seems like you got either a power supply issue or an SSD that uses too much power, so you might experience crashes, but if you read m message again, I asked you to follow Step 1 only, and after that, paste the command I sent you

I am not the only one to have this concern.
How long should I wait for you to provide me with my backup channel?
No funds with wallet synchonised

I’m no longer working on Umbrel since a few days now, so I’ll no longer provide channel.backup files. Please contact @lukechilds, @mayankchhabra or @lounes_kmt regarding backups

So you made the decision to stop working for Umbrel right after contacting me, a regrettable combination of circumstances.
I will therefore see where this business takes me.

I was never working there, I was just contributing to its open source code and helping developers by telling users how to get backup ids, helping troubleshoot nodes, … Sory for not telling you, I forgot about that.
