Can try loading a saved back up if you have one.
One thing I try to do for helping to ensure saved backups are of good quality, after a system is setup first or from a factory reset, set up the system initially, get the basics going. Then save off one back up at this point. Then any additional features and configurations you enable or input, then save off another backup to file. That way you have two options for back up, if needed. I also tend to have backups for each FW version as well as sometimes as FW graduates, it may reveal issues with older versions of backups generated from prior versions of FW.
