We have installed 2 neo4j pods with 4.4.31 enterprise version into our AKS cluster, Have taken the backup of neo4j from pod1 and trying to restore it into pod2. getting the below error.

neo4j-admin restore --from=/backups/neo4j --database=neo4j --force
Selecting JVM - Version:11.0.22+7, Name:OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, Vendor:Eclipse Adoptium
restorePath=/backups/neo4j, restoreStatus=failed, reason=Source directory is not a database backup [/backups/neo4j]
Restore command wasn't execute successfully

Used the backup command is: neo4j-admin backup --backup-dir=/var/lib/neo4j/backups --database=neo4j --verbose the backup created successfully into the pod1 but its not created the metadata.txt file in the backup files. Please help me the process how to take backup and restore on this scenario in the kubernetes. Thank you.
