Moved DB location and now Immich thinks I have a new install - how do I restore?

Immich has been running just fine on my UnRaid install for a while now. I realized I had not stored the database location to my appdata folder (which is an ssd) and decided to move the location to appdata. I made the updates to the env variables and the docker compose file. When Immich restarted, it appears to think its a fresh install. I think this makes sense since the database data is now in app data, but I cant figure out how to use the backup file (Database Dump) I created before doing all this to restore the install. The Linux example for restoring the backup in the docs is not helping me with my unraid installation. Any help is appreciated.
