I’ve seen a few similar reports like [https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-could-not-create-unique-index-badges-pkey-attempting-to-restore-backup/67726](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-could-not-create-unique-index-badges-pkey-attempting-to-restore-backup/67726). I suspect that there is a bug somewhere, but no one has shown a way to replicate it.

I think your solution is to do this: [Manually create and restore Discourse backups](https://meta.discourse.org/t/advanced-manual-method-of-manually-creating-and-restoring-discourse-backups/18273).
