[Sugar-devel] Restoring journal backups created with 0.82 on 0.84

[Bernie Innocenti]

Martin, Rodolfo

Aldo, one of the technicians in Caacupe, reported failure to restore
backups created with Sugar 0.82 after the machine has been upgraded to
Sugar 0.84.

Frankly, I don't understand how the restore script is supposed to work:
it rsyncs the files into ~/.ds-restore-tmp and then quits without moving
them where the datastore is.

I tried moving the files manually into ~/.sugar/default/datastore and
restarting Sugar, but nothing shows up. How does the datastore detect an
old format that needs updating?

Besides this problem, it would be useful to add a control panel icon for
listing available backups and restoring them. Is anyone working on this?
