What is the correct way to recover GnuPG keys?

I backed up the .gnupg folder at one time. Today it needed to be restored. I just copied all the files from the backup to the ~/.gnupg folder. The next step was to decrypt the file. Here's the problem, the password does not match. My password is stored in KeePass. I enter correctly. The password has not changed.
What am I doing wrong? Perhaps I did not restore it correctly from a backup?

You need to import the key(s) into the system. I'm not 100% sure if this is possible based on those files that are stored in ~/.gnupg but still here is a link with a description of the export/import commands.

The password is case sensitive, font, spaces, etc., try changing the font, hitting (on off) cut and save ALT (F12) (without spaces), the answer can take a very long time, so find out the status on the server (ready status), and in fact, now different sert keys are in conflict with each other, I have already encountered this.
