Failed to start Qubes OS daemon

[qube...@gmail.com]

After trying to restore one windows-7 appvm backup(R3) from external usb drive(restore failed), I cant start no sys-net, no other appvms after that. Present time I have R4 on my laptop(Lenovo x1 carbon 4th gen). No Qubes GUIs doesn't work related qubes itself(e.x Create Qubes VM,Restore Backup etc). "Systemctl status qubesd.service" command gives me answer - Qubes OS daemon loaded but not active.Failed to start Qubes OS daemon. What to do?

Try running `sudo systemctl status qubesd.service`, you should see more
details about the reason for failed startup.

Looks like more interesting data is beyond last 10 lines. See `journalctl
- -u qubesd.service`.

Ok, it looks like /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml is empty. See
/var/lib/qubes/backup for backup copies. Note that some latest changes
(like creating/removing qubes) may be missing there.
