Hi Martin, I have more info.
As I mentioned earlier, I verified that the backed up files have the right metadata. I now checked the datastore on my local sugar install. I looked for the downloaded file. I see that it is a journal entry with a "data" file and a metadata directory. I can unzip the "data" file to get to the backed up files and it has the correct metadata. I think the problem is that the journal doesn't recognize it as a zip file and does not unzip it. I don't know enough about how this works yet so I wanted to ask, what tells the Journal to recognize the download as a backup file that should be restored (or unzipped). Can I get a sample of the metadata directory of a downloaded backup file ?
