Is it normal for a LND node to close all of the channels after restoring them with a back up file?

Yes. That's what a SCB is for.
SBC? But damn that’s annoying. So I have to start all over.
Static Channels Backup (SCB) is for disaster recovery of funds back on chain to prevent you losing all your funds.
Logically there's no way to back up lightning channels' dynamic status (balances) and have those still be valid some random time in the future.
Thanks. That explains it. So now I got some on chain to open new channels🤣 dang it’s costly to run a node😂
Yes, happened to me
