I'm taking my backup machine from 6.4-13 to 7 using the steps in the wiki. I didn't get any errors, but it doesn't seem to have updated to version 7 either. The update only took about 20 seconds so I'm not sure it actually worked. Below are some outputs in case they are helpful.
6.4 to 7.0 didn't work

I thought that had worked as it appeared to be doing the update. I rebooted when it finished but I appear to still be on version 6.4-13.
I re-ran the apt update command but get an unauthorized error saying I need to run a touch command to remove the file. That may or may not make sense since it doesn't appear to have updated.
I then re-ran the apt dist-upgrade and it started doing what appeared to be an update. It took several min while a progress bar slowly counted to 100% complete on the bottom of the screen. I then rebooted. After the boot however it comes to a log-in prompt and doesn't appear to be running proxmox. There is no GUI. If I try to connect with SSH now I get an error saying it couldn't agree with a key exchange algorithm.
If I run a pveversion -v command it says command not found.

The message with the touch command was something like "do this only IF you REALLY REALLY want to remove Proxmox VE" so that people don't remove the proxmox-ve package by accident. If you touched that file and did it again you indeed removed your complete PVE from the host so that you now got something like a normal debian.
You can try to fix your repositories and do a
And you should either use the PVE enterprise OR the PVE no-subscription repo. If you somewhere got a enterprise repo without actually haveing a valid subscription the apt update will complain about "unauthorized IPs".
So that means you got no subscription and need to remove or comment out the enterprise repos everywhere or buy a subscription.

I forget the exact language but it wasn't as clear as your example. I was under the impression that it had to be removed for the update to take place based on it's language.
I have updated the repositories as suggested already but when I run
apt install proxmox-ve
I get an error saying 'proxmox-ve' has no installation candidate
You are right, I did get the error about an unauthorized IP. I'll go # that line back out again. Do I take out both lines or just the top one?

The most worrisome thing is that this is my backup system. I wanted to do it first to make sure it went well before doing the live machine. The problem is that following the instructions is how I got here (except for that touch command) and I don't know how to avoid ending up at this same place with the live machine when I attempt that update. The process had failed before I got to where I am now, and I don't know how to avoid that failure with the other machine.
You need both. What you need to comment out are the proxmox enterprise repos:
# deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-enterprise in your "/etc/apt/sources.list" and the line in your "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list" file.And then you got the "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list:deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-octopus buster main" which is for Buster (Debian 10) and not Bullseye (Debian 11). And your 3ware repos are for Stretch (Debian 9). You should only use repos that are made for Bullseye.
To me it looks like you are using the wrong repositories. If they don't perfectly fit you run in such errors where you got mixed up packages that don't fit each other and then stuff can't be installed because of missing dependencies or you try to install a wrong package that is in conflict with the proxmox-ve package so apt will ask you if you want to remove proxmox-ve so that this package can be installed.

I don't have a "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list" file. That directory only holds a file named "pve-no-subscription.list" and a second one named "ceph.list". The "pve-no-subscription.list" file is empty.
The only changes I've made to this system since installing from the ISO were changed I was instructed to do in the forums over time. There haven't been many, but I don't recall what they were. I do seem to recall that being told to change repositories was one of them but it's presented no issue until now. Updates were working.
Currently if I attempt to run the apt install proxmox-ve command I get an error "Package 'proxmox-ve' has no installation candidate. Is that because the pve-no-subscription.list file is empty? I had run the "sed -i -e 's/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list" command as instructed in the update.

But line was from your
grep '' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* output you wrote in your first post.Best would be if you can post again what your repos now look like. So the content of your "/etc/apt/sources.list" and the content of all files in your "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/" folder.

That is used to upgrade CEPH from Nautilus to Octopus and has to be done BEFORE upgrading to PVE7.X while still being on PVE6.4 and Debian Buster like described here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_Nautilus_to_Octopus
After that upgrade to Octopus you need to remove that line and change it to "
deb [URL]http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-octopus[/URL] bullseye main" so it fits to bullseye.That should be commented out too.
In a different thread I addressed the CEPH issue. I don't have CEPH installed at all as this isn't in a cluster. Since CEPH isn't installed I was told to skip the entire Nautilus to Octopus part of the upgrade... there's nothing to upgrade. It doesn't say anything about removing the line afterward. Since I don't have CEPH installed at all, should I add the new line listed above or just leave the CEPH.LIST file empty?
OK, so I've changed etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list to read
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-octopus bullseye main
Should I try to run the updates again?
If your system is just a basic install (Debian + PVE) with no extra software (CEPH,etc.) then the only thing you need is a /etc/apt/sources.list that looks like this (No Subscription):

That looks ok.
But why this command?
root@pve:~# apt install proxmox-veWhat is the output if this:
apt full-upgradeIn the comments above it appear that Proxmox got removed from this machine while attempting the update so we need to try to re-install it somehow. Now knowing this, should I still run apt full-upgrade?
