Hi

Looking at the stack trace, the issue could be caused by many causes and the most common causes is due to insufficient file permission. There is a documentation that related to the stack trace and you may want to try the resolution in the following documentation.

For your information, restore a backup from an older version of confluence to a newer version of confluence is not recommended and not supported as the restoration could fail due to some upgrade task is not run correctly or the data is not compatible. The recommended ways is to restore the back to the same version of confluence that generates the backup and perform the upgrade.
