I formatted the virtual server. I set up the site from zero. It gives this error while installing backup. I had a backup on the beta9 version. I’m using the beta9 version on the new site.  
I had installed different extensions on the old site. In the new site, the same extensions are not loaded. Could the problem be caused by the extension not being loaded?

Yes, please add the missing plugins or replace `20210429154322` with `20210420015635` in the backup filename if you don’t want to use those plugins anymore.
