Hi,

I've searched the forum and didn't find any satisfactory answers to this issue I'm encountering - basically what I face is this: I'm trying to 1) backup my Odoo database (on my local machine), and 2) restore it (using either the zip file, or the .dump file generated in the previous step). Very simple, but unfortunately, I keep hitting the 2 contradictory messages of "Could not restore the database" pop-up window, and another "Database restored successfully" message in the upper right corner of the screen in step 2). Step 1) works fine - I could get the zip file generated, as well as the .dump file.

Unlike another person who posted about this issue, for my case, after getting those 2 conflicting messages, I didn't get my database restored.

I've checked the log files generated by both Odoo as well as nginx (which I'm using as reverse-proxy), but there are no error or warning messages generated, very strange.

Also, regarding the zip file that is generated, what exactly is the filestore folder and how does Odoo actually use that information together with manifest.json (which I understand is just a listing of modules that are installed) when restoring the database? I'm asking this because restoring the database from sql dump files is relatively straightforward, but I'm not so sure about the filestore and installed modules, and how Odoo actually detects those.
