 ### Added
 
+- Backup restore loading feedback: Added visual loading indicator to the backup restore confirmation dialog. When clicking "Restore", the button now displays an animated dots loader and becomes disabled, providing clear feedback that the restore operation is in progress.
 - Channel profile edit and duplicate functionality: Users can now rename existing channel profiles and create duplicates with automatic channel membership cloning. Each profile action (edit, duplicate, delete) in the profile dropdown for quick access.
 - ProfileModal component extracted for improved code organization and maintainability of channel profile management operations.
 - Frontend unit tests for pages and utilities: Added comprehensive unit test coverage for frontend components within pages/ and JS files within utils/, along with a GitHub Actions workflow (`frontend-tests.yml`) to automatically run tests on commits and pull requests - Thanks [@nick4810](https://github.com/nick4810)
