Reload data from pod after a BACKUP restore

[gjwgit]

Describe the Bug

When I IMPORT BACKUP to my app/pod, the app does not by default reload the data from the POD. Is this possible to do? It may not be given every app stores it's data differently. If this is not possbile/easy then include in the message that it has been restored but the app needs to re-read the data from the pod, possibly by restarting the app (my reload buttons are implemented per app - I wonder if t can be generalised - but again it might be dependent on the specific app data structures).

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Create a BACKUP for todopod
2. Exit the app and remove the app folder from the server
3. Start up the app and IMPORT BACKUP
4. The message notes the items restored
5. Go to the TASKS page and there are no entries listed
6. Tap the RELOAD button in the top button bar
7. All tasks are now listed

Expected Behaviour

A message to reload data or restart the app OR the data is automatically reloaded

Hi @gjwgit, I think a better approach would be to inform users before restoring the data that the app will need to be restarted afterwards, and ask whether they would like to continue. Once the restoration is complete, a dialog should then notify them that the app needs to restart immediately.

This would ensure that the POD data is fully reloaded and prevent users from writing new data to the POD before the restored data has been reloaded, which could otherwise lead to data inconsistencies or errors.

Implemented.
