Dear all

After upgrading to OH3 I lost the persisted values of mapdb, However, I have a backup of the persisted values in the files “storage.mapdb”, “storage.mapdb.p” and “storage.mapdb.t” since I’m using the openhab-cli backup function. I tried to copy them to the folder `/srv/openhab2/userdata/persistence/mapdb`, However that does not work, i.e. the backed-up values will not be taken after start-up

How can I manage that the system takes the backed up values? Is there another folder where I would need to copy them?

Any help would be highly appreciated
