Restoring a graph from a backup does not preserve block-level back-references.
Note that the new EDN backup/restore flow does not cover this use case and there are still multiple bugs exporting and restoring subsets of a graphs as exported from All Pages.
This bug impacts block-level back references and calculations.
It contains two pages: [[Concept A]] [[Concept B]]
[[Concept A]] contains a block reference to a block in [[Concept B]], text Lorem ipsum
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
import the minimal repro graph into any roam database
Go to [[Concept B]]
We expect a button next to the block with the count "1". There is a page-level back-reference to [[Concept A]] but the block level back-reference on the block Lorem ipsum is missing.
Go to [[Concept A]] and edit the block containing the block reference to Lorem ipsum (e.g. add a space and delete it).
Go to [[Concept B]]. Observe the previously missing block-level back reference is present.

Device: iPhone 11 and macbook pro

Additional context
Export/Import related bugs (now closed, but still impacted)
This also impacts calculations. After importing blocks with calculations, the computed values are wrong.
You have to make a minor edit to every calculation block to make it show the correct value.
