A suggestion for app restore from backup

Apps General Packaging
1

Hi Boris,
I’m using extensively app restoration from backup during these days. It works fine. I think the GUI could be improved this way: currently the user has no feedback about the completion of the process, am I right?
Yesterday, for instance, I restored Photprism that takes a long time also to create a backup and by myself I waited for one hour to be sure about its completion. I think that a “loading” blue wheel as you have in other part of the web GUI (for example in OS update or app installation) could be a valid option.
Ciao

p.s. I catch the opportunity to ask you what the syntax to restore apps from console is. Thanks a lot

feedback about the completion of the process

Backup page has received an update to show current restore progress even if you refresh the page.
