I followed your link to restore the backup from CLI, but nothing was restored, it was still the same as a fresh install.
Is in the backup the “old” app.yml file and will it be overwritten when I restore the backup? If not, the whole backup is useless.
I tried to restore the backup than from within Discourse and now I have a blank site.
This is from the command line when I try to restore the backup. Of course I followed the commands from the link, but it seems that something has changed.
