As a result of a cloud provider failure, we lost our production forum. There are only Postgres database backups.  
Can you tell me what is the correct sequence of actions when restoring from a database backup? And in general, is it possible?  
Is there any table inside the database indicating the version of the forum?

Thank you very much in advance!
