6. Run `sudo -Hu postgres pg_restore -d <pleroma_db> -v -1 </path/to/backup_location/pleroma.pgdump>`
7. If you installed a newer Pleroma version, you should run `mix ecto.migrate`[^1]. This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
8. Restart the Pleroma service.
-9. After you've restarted Pleroma, you will notice that postgres will take up more cpu resources than usual. A lot in fact. To fix this you must do a VACUUM ANLAYZE. This can also be done while the instance is still running like so:
- $ sudo -u postgres psql pleroma_database_name
- pleroma=# VACUUM ANALYZE;
+9. Run `sudo -Hu postgres vacuumdb --all --analyze-in-stages`. This will quickly generate the statistics so that postgres can properly plan queries.
