Thank you for your suggestion. I’ve successfully backed up the latest data.  
In addition, since the OS has already been reinstalled, how can I restore the latest state directly using the app.yml and backup files? Is there any official documentation for this? Or do I need to go through the standard Docker installation process first, and then import the backup to restore everything?

By the way, when I tried to find out which commit my Discourse backup corresponds to, I got the following output. Any idea why that might be？

```plaintext
/var/www/discourse# git blame db/migrate/20240516145911*
fatal: no such path 'db/migrate/20240516145911*' in HEAD

```
