None. It's the same MySQL database if you are talking about the database
backup generated by koha-run-backups script. However, the defaults used may
be different, for example whether syntaxes like "CREATE IF NOT EXIST" are
incorporated OR not in the backup etc.

Most likely case, that somehow the branchcode (s) defined are different
from the backup.

In case you are talking about *MARC* backup rather than a full db backup,
then either (a) your branchcodes are not same between the instances OR (b)
you have only exported the bibs and *not* the items.


3) to import -SQL backup should I know database name?

Yes.
