Description

Hello,

For some reason (my fault, tbh) nginx started with a fresh new database and overwrote the one i already had.
I still have plenty of other files (especially proxy entries) that i would like to use to rebuild the database automatically, rather than re-enter ~50 entries

It would be neat if NPM had that kind of feature

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating how Nginx Proxy Manager stores its database and proxy-entry files, then determine which existing files can be reconstructed safely. Done should mean the requested database rebuild works for the reported proxy entries without requiring manual re-entry.
