Description Martin Mai 2009-11-18 17:19:38 UTC 
Origonally reported on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/428795:

I've put my 'evolution-backup.tar.gz' on my desktop in Serbian localization. The folder name is "~/Radna površ", so the full path to the backup tarball was "/home/danilo/Radna površ/evolution-backup.tar.gz".

If I try to use that (either from the initial configuration window, or later from the "File > Restore configuration" menu), Evolution pops up a dialog box saying "Please select a valid backup file to restore."

Moving the backup file to a path which contains no spaces (even if it contains non-ASCII letters in it — I've tried with /home/danilo/бекап/evolution-backup.tar.gz) works correctly.

I moved it to a path with no spaces:
/home/alan/evolution_backups/evolution-backup.tar.gz
and it still doesn't work.
