Configuration is not consistent with adapter state/backup #30521
Description
What happened?
After restarting my computer, the docker zigbee2mqtt fails to start.
It seems to be related to this -> https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/20_zigbee2mqtt-fails-to-start_crashes-runtime.html#error-startup-failed-configuration-adapter-mismatch-see-logs-above-for-more-information
but in my case the key is good... ( I did not change it, I think I never did and it work since a couple of years I think )
What did you expect to happen?
I expected this to start without problem
