1GB nanode plan issue

Dear all,
I have an issue after restoring backup.
I use 'free -m' to check it.
Before restoring, my vps total ram was around 957MB.
After restoring, my vps total ram is 757MB.
There is difference between 20% ram.
May any one know what happen it?

Shoud i restore the backup again?

Before restoring again, it may be a good idea to see what is using your memory. Often times after a boot job is run, many processes may be running (or not running) which were or were not previously.

I would recommend running the top command and seeing if the usage aligns with your recollection of your previous instance:

If you end up needing to troubleshoot memory usage, this is also a good resource:

Best of luck!
