Just copying the files around with same names should not do any harm. Also, we have not change the backup /restore code recently so the cause is likely somewhere else.

What happens when you import it, can you check the Console logs, do you see any exceptions? 

Does it work on the original computer but not others?

Are you using the same versions on all computers, which ones?

Regards,
Adrian
