👋

As you can see in the image below when you create a backup and hover over the disabled ‘Restore’ button the link is missing 👻

Would it be better if it said

Restore is currently disabled. To enable it, search for ‘allow restore’ in site settings.

It looks like the title of the button was not updated when the URL was added in [UX: Fix restore info link on admin backups page by martin-brennan · Pull Request #28452 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28452)

For the banner, the URL is forwarded:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/53b51e0d5686df63a28759c26ae8b8547fc952e3/app/assets/javascripts/admin/addon/templates/backups-index.hbs#L20-L30>

However, the button title does not get a URL:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/53b51e0d5686df63a28759c26ae8b8547fc952e3/app/assets/javascripts/admin/addon/controllers/admin-backups-index.js#L28>

I just did a recheck: It’s still broken.
