I turned off wifi as u said and after few seconds turned it on like you did but post that it gave the option to restore backup from google drive and didn't try to search local backup. Since no backup was taken on google drive hence nothing got restored. Can you please help, how to make it search for local backup instead of google drive? I did the steps you said but no result.
