Migrate from windows to linux

I have 100.000+ photos. A modest NAS and a relatively powerful PC.
I tried using immich in the NAS, but face recognition took ages (more than 20 days). So I decided to do it on my PC, and then migrate (according to https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/ ). Installed on PC, recognized faces, merged some, etc. etc.
Then I exported database, uploaded everything to my nas, restored database and started immich and.... I see no collection on immich on my NAS. I import the library, it does not match with what I uploaded and begin regeneating thumbnails and re-recognizing faces... Does anybody knows what I am doing wrong?
I am running v1.129.0 both on the PC and the NAS
