[PATCH] backup.pl: Restart openvpn daemons after restore.

[PATCH] backup.pl: Restart openvpn daemons after restore.

[Adolf Belka]

- As the daemons are running when the restore is done then if the daemons are not
   restarted the running daemon stays with the previous config and not with the restored
   version.
