Now I'm wondering in which order I should go - first upload to Glo all my kobofied epubs and then restore database? Or is it the other way around?
And is it safe to do at all? There was a lot of version between 2.8.1 and 3.13.1 and maybe it won't work? Maybe database was changed in some way in one of versions?

Did whatever utility you used to open the .zip file complain about file corruption? The one time I got a bad download, all three utilities (7Zip, WinZip and unzip) I used to open the .zip file complained about file corruption when I attempt to unpack the archive.
I would do the factory reset, updates and patches (if using them) and then copy over the ebooks and let your Glo process them. I generally don't bother with restoring a database backup unless it was very recent as I tend to move ebooks on and off my Kobos fairly often.
