Database data is gone after Railway Metal upgrade

I have 1 PostgreSQL database. After the automatic upgrade to Railway Metal all the databases in the database server are now empty (I used "railway" database before). I have a volume mount (name = "hobbies-volume") attached to the database. The UI reports that the volume mount has 98MB of data. Is there any way to connect the database container to that volume mount or was my data deleted completely? I can see that RAILWAY_VOLUME_NAME and RAILWAY_VOLUME_MOUNT_PATH have seemingly correct values in the database settings.
