Initiate Seedvault Restore via ADB

Apps & Core Settings
1

there used to be an adb commad to trigger the option to restore a seedvault backup without a factory reset:
adb shell am start-activity com.stevesoltys.seedvault/.restore.RestoreActivity

This doesnt work anymore, or at least not on a Sony Xperia XZ1 “poplar” on Iode 5.9 unofficial.
Is there another command that works?

Sorry a bit confused: you should be able to graphically trigger a Seedvault restore anytime you like from “Settings > System > Backup”?
