Describe the issue

I created a backup while on version 2.2.13. I then upgraded to 2.2.14 and attempted to restore the backup, but nothing was restored. After clicking "Restore" the page spun for a moment then opened the Libraries page without restoring anything. I can confirm that the backup worked and saved information. I also attempted to restore to a backup that i ran a couple days ago with the same result.

When reviewing the logs, it says nothing is being loaded

This doesn't address the bug but in the meantime, the backup files are just renamed zip files. You can simply rename it, unzip it, and replace the corresponding folders in the config folders.

Thanks @hobesman, i did exactly that, but unfortunately, Audiobookshelf is not pulling the library information from the config folder even after replacing the content with what was in the backup directory

Fixed in v2.2.15

I recommend creating a new backup and discarding old backups
