 * When I run a database backup and then try to restore it, after it completes I
   get asked to log out and back in. When I log in the database hasn’t been restored
   and no changes made.

 * I had the same problem, but discovered my server did not have sufficient PHP 
   write access to do the SQL backup. (BTW, this is noted in the documentation PDF.)
 * I then used MySQL to IMPORT the database.sql file from the backed up files. That
   Worked!
