      Issue Summary

      Restoring an older Confluence Site Backup fails with an error, "Something went wrong. We're moving mountains to get it sorted. View our status page and subscribe for service updates." or "Exception occurred during import: Error importing site".

      Steps to Reproduce

      4. Shortly after it may return the error "Something went wrong. We're moving mountains to get it sorted. View our status page and subscribe for service updates." or "Exception occurred during import: Error importing site".
