Hello, the evolution-list is more suitable for such question, because it is used by users, not (mainly) by coders. I can answer the question too. The Backup settings function is meant to create a snapshot of your evolution. Restoring the backup means that the evolution gets back to the state when the snapshot had been created, which also means that whatever you did before restore (and after the backup create) is completely lost after the restore. It's not a bug, it's an intended behavior. Maybe the restore should "backup" files, instead of deleting them, but as long as it cannot do it for settings as well, the behavior would be unexpected, or seem incomplete this way.
