Edge backup-and-restore does not retain connections and capabilities
We are attempting to migrate (k3s-hosted) Edge to new infrastructure. Per the documentation, we have used the edge tool to create a backup from an operational Edge node containing Connections and Capabilities configuration. We’ve subsequently created a new Edge site, downloaded Installer, and installed (supplying the backup using the -b command-line option).
Once k3s is configured and Edge workloads are live, no Connections or Capabilities are present on the new Edge site within the Edge Settings.
I have confirmed that configmap/backup.yaml is created during installation, and blue-key + connection secrets have been created in the collibra-edge namespace:

Am I missing something obvious here? Is there not an expectation that Connections and Capabilities be carried-over during a restore of an Edge backup?
