URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/4486

           I'm trying to backup and restore a CouchDB following the official 
documentation:
   
   https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/maintenance/backups.html
   
   "However, you can also copy the actual .couch files from the CouchDB data 
directory (by default, data/) at any time, without problem. CouchDB’s 
append-only storage format for both databases and secondary indexes ensures 
that this will work without issue."
   
   Since the doc seems to not show clearly the steps to restore from files, i 
copy the entire data folder, build up a local CouchDB docker container and try 
to paste the files into container opt/couchdb/data folder.
   
   But what i get when i start/restart the container and access localhost:5984 
to see the databases, is: "This database failed to load."

   What should i do after copy the files? Paste directly should work? What is 
the right time to paste? Should i create the DBs before?
   
   Thank you all
