Are the settings supposed to be exported? When I try and export and import (on a different server) some of my settings are gone. The theme and emojis reverted back to default. (maybe other things too)

Edit: even the users aren’t showing up in the dashboard.

and even the site name didn’t get imported when I did a restore on the other server:
