Failed to restore wallet backup. Your original wallet has been restored. Error: Bad Cast (7)
Invalid cast from type 'string_type' to Object

I'm sure about the passphrase,and I tried 0.3.0 or 0.3.1 or 0.8.they all failed.

I can recall that an early version had a slight issue when exporting the backup .. there either was a comma missing or one extra comma ..
Maybe this helps you:

Even though the keys are encrypted I would not recommend to do so ..
but you can safely paste the last few lines so that we can check for the comma issue

    },
    "is_my_account": true,
    "approved": 0,
    "is_favorite": false,
    "block_production_enabled": false
  }
},
]

there is a comma.so I think there is some other problem.
