This seems to work properly here. Unfortunately, as there is not enough information on this bug report to further investigate this issue, we'll need to ask you for more data:
- Please attach the file .xsession-errors (from your home directory) to this report. If there are errors from the backup process, they should be displayed there. - Please run 'apport-collect 818157' to add extra debugging information, including the release of Ubuntu you are using.

The file was about 11Mb in size, an has proved reliable when needing to restore, or when starting afresh. Now the "evolution-backup.tar.gz" product is 332Kb in size. The last time it was this size ANY "Restore" failed, REPEATEDLY. This seemed to have been a recent (Since beginning of June) issue, and as it is REQUIRED as a Work Application it is of concern. Tried a Terminal "Text-As-Command" Work-Around, but this also Fails.
