immich-server fails to start

Hi, im trying to load an older backup i have.

Every time when i start the server after loading all the backup data in, the server crashes with this error:

[immich-server]           | [Nest] 12  - 07/28/2025, 11:56:59 AM   ERROR [Api:StorageService] Failed to read upload/encoded-video/.immich: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'upload/encoded-video/.immich'
[immich-server]           | [Nest] 12  - 07/28/2025, 11:56:59 AM   ERROR [Api:StorageService] Failed to read upload/encoded-video/.immich: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'upload/encoded-video/.immich'


I've tried this on both the latest and "v1.132.0" (what i probably used at the time of the backup) but i still get this error.

I use the default docker compose file with podman.

My .env:
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/var/lib/containers/storage/immichLibrary
DB_DATA_LOCATION=./postgres
IMMICH_VERSION="v1.132.0"
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/var/lib/containers/storage/immichLibrary
DB_DATA_LOCATION=./postgres
IMMICH_VERSION="v1.132.0"
