Backups made with version 4.31.x do not display the contents of the library folders when restored.

The problem is not with backup, but with restoration: 4.31.1 forgets to restore the folder structure - file /data/database/myLibrary.db.

There is no problem in 4.30.1.

I would like to add that data is correctly restored from backup copies created by older versions.

The problem only appears with the new backup system, which includes a description file - ".backup_info"

Without this file (backward compatibility mode), the recovery is correct. But if the backup contains ".backup_info" - then the file "myLibrary.db" is not restored.

By the way, dear developers, pay attention to:

1) backupItem = 4 (MyLibrary) - backupItemsSize only takes into account the size of "visible" files (myLibrary.db, tracks.db, waypoints.db). But "invisible" files (name begins with period) are included in the backup, but are not included in the size (for example: .mVisibleItems_dbTracks, .mVisibleItems_dbWaypoints, .visibleItems_gcWaypoints2)

2) backupItem = 1 (Settings) - backupItemsSize has some strange size, exceeding the size of the settings files included in the backup (for example, try to backup settings only). Maybe they forgot to take something into account somewhere?
