Problems with Backup Application on Nokia N900

Hello!

I have a problem with the Backup Application on a Nokia N900 (Maemo5, Europe version). If I create a Backup, restart the device and try to recovery from that Backup I get the error message that says something like (translated from German message) “Recovery incomplete. Communication and Calendar. Unknown error.” after reboot.

If I create a Backup and recover that Backup immediately WITHOUT turning the device off I get no error message after the reboot, it just says that the recovery has finished on a yellow background. If I try to recover that or another Backup now (the device got turned off during the reboot, which seems to be the important thing) I get the same error message as above.

If I try to restore immediately after I created the Backup (device is not turned off, no error message appears) the Progress Bar goes up to 100%. In the cases when error messages appear the Bar went just to 99% before the obligatory reboot.

Despite the error message everything seems to be recovered well instead of contacts shortcuts on a different desktop. The only Program I installed additionally is the Droid fonts. De-installation of Droid fonts didn’t solve the problem, nor a reset to the factory settings.

What I would like to know is if this is a known bug which eventually has consequences that it would be better to reflash to avoid data loss in the future or if it could be even a hardware failure. Anybody who experienced this problem too?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you should check bugzilla, for example asking about all bugs for
the backup application on the n900:

Try also browsing older bugs on the same component, then if you feel
your issue is new or different from the others go ahead and file a bug.

If there's no report, please feel free to file one with exact steps (as
far as possible). Also please mention if you backed up a Skype account.
