Comment 3 for bug 447888

I'm getting the same message as above, "please select a valid backup file to restore". Not sure if this is the same bug as reported in 408603 which looks like it is supposed to be resolved.
In my case the fail is occurring in Evolution (2.28.1) supplied with the final version of Ubuntu 9.10 Koala 64bit released on 29 October 2009. The backup, taken an hour before installing Koala, is from 9.04 Jackalope 64bit.
I'm not that tech savvy and couldn't find the error in any of the logs otherwise I would have something more useful to report.
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Evolution with no effect. I can bypass the restore screen and Evolution will start up and allow me to set up a mail account but it still won't let me restore from a backup.
As it stands I'm going to have to revert to 9.04 (sigh) as I need the contact and email info for day to day operations.
