Hello

I have been using bitwardenrs for almost one year and I am very happy with it.
Now I want to be on the safe side and I did database backups. I have also all the file from docker data folder.

How I can restore the database?
I tried to mount a different docker container with other data folder (copied from original one), but it doesn't recognise any user from old one. I need to start from the beginning, with creating a new user. Is there any way to restore the data from old container?

Thank you

Thank you very much, it is very clear for making backups.
What I really want to know is how to restore a backup? This part is not touched anywhere.
