Please confirm where exactly you copied the tar file to.
"ie Copy the previously made backup file, smeserver.tgz, to a fresh node"

Hi Mary

i made copy to Root not homes!!!

mount /media/usbdisk
cp /media/usbdisk/Backup-date-folder/smeserver.tgz  /
###############################################
after a restore the users have to move the smeserver.tgz from :

#mv /media/usbdisk/smeserver.tgz /media/usbdisk/Backupdate-folder/
 (cause every backup has the same name, and if users backup different pc to same disk it will be overwritten)

Better, is if the restore is timestamped by the restore skipt?
Must be added to bugs.contrib.org..
