+# Function: try_restore_backup
+# Description: Attempts to restore the previous Pi-hole gravity database from a
+#              backup file. If a backup exists, it copies the backup to the
+#              gravity database file and prepares a new gravity database. If the
+#              restoration is successful, it returns 0. Otherwise, it returns 1.
+# Returns:
+#   0 - If the backup is successfully restored.
+#   1 - If no backup is available or if the restoration fails.
