I restored it by just restoring from the sql.gz that was stored in S3, and so far the only thing that broke was some user avatars and some posts, but I guess that was due to them either not being uploaded to the S3 when they were created.

In a production environment, assuming everything goes well from launch and everything is in S3… if I restore from a back up, I won’t have the same weird issue as from the opening post is that correct?
