This issue seems to affect korganizer, kaddressbook, kmail and possibly other applications during a system crash.. We have seen everything from the file name with hundreds of .backup extensions.. ie..
.backup.backup.backup.. ... Also, what happens is that it blindly overwrites existing personal config files with a new blank one, (It should check that if it is missing, restore backup, but it doens't) and then when you open/exit the program and find the missing info, by that time it overwrites the legitimate backup with a backup of the empty file, so you have lost everything. I am sure that many bug reports must have been filed on this issue, so check there first, but you probably have to restore the config files from backup, or recreate the information that they contained.
