Is there an equivalent for `rake posts:rebake` for restoring avatars? That is what I ended up having to do to fix post images, but most avatars are still missing. I have tried triggering CreateMissingAvatars in Sidekiq and it runs for 5-10 seconds, but nothing changes.

My issues seem nearly identical to the ones in [this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatars-lost-after-restore-how-to-get-them-back/148223), which unfortunately doesn’t seem to have a solution.
