To restore from a manual backup, the process is basically the reverse of the above:
- Install new server as normal by downloading a Zulip release tarball
and then using `scripts/setup/install`. You don't need
to run the `initialize-database` second stage which puts default
data into the database.
and then using `scripts/setup/install`. You should pass
`--no-init-db` because we don't need to create a new database.
- Unpack to `/etc/zulip` the `settings.py` and `zulip-secrets.conf` files

`scripts/setup/postgresql-init-db` to drop the initial database first.
- Restore your database from the backup.
- Reconfigure rabbitmq to use the password from `secrets.conf`
