<div dir="ltr">I am replacing my Ubuntu 16.04 setup with a clean
install of Myth on a clean install of Utuntu 20.04. I have the
old mythconverg backed up and am getting ready to restore. The
wiki <a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Backend_migration"
moz-do-not-send="true">backend migration page</a> says
"Depending on how your distribution initialises the database
upon installation of the backend, you may need to use the

<div>The referenced page says: "
If you are replacing an existing database with a known-good
backup by using a full restore--for example, because your
database has been corrupted or a database schema upgrade
failed or you're replacing a package-provided database with
your "old" database after re-installing your distro--you will
need to drop the existing database. "</div>

<div>I don't know how 20.04 initializes the DB. I am not
replacing the DB because of corruption or failed upgrade. Do
I run <a href="http://mythconverg_restore.pl"
moz-do-not-send="true">mythconverg_restore.pl</a> with
defaults or include the drop and create arguments? Also to be
clear, I should restore the DB after installing myth but
before running setup, right? <br>

<p>The last time I created fresh and wanted to restore from a good
backup I had just run on the old system, I did the following
command:</p>
