Title: "Failed to restore wallet backup."
Post by: fuzzy on October 06, 2015, 07:17:02 am

For some reason my backup will not open.  It also had this same problem on many of the prior releases. 

The information I get back is:

Quote

"Failed to restore wallet backup.  Your original wallet has been restored. Error: invalid password (20001)
Invalid Password!

If you are sure that your password and backup file are correct, please post a support request here:.....(these forums)"

I have tried every single password I have used more than once (I have them all written down so it is not a mistake) and I know that the backup is the correct one...so I guess now I'm here. 

Anyone able to give me some insight?

is it an export from 0.9.3c ?
On which wallet you make the import?


PS try to make the export again from the console (not the menu)

wallet_export_keys keys.json

and then try for the import again...

I am not sure this file is supposed to be imported back into BitShares 0.9

@fuzzy: you should find all automatic backups in the folder %APPDATA%\Roaming\BitShares\wallets\.backups\default  ... note the dot in front of backups .. try a newer backup

Can you guys tell me how this works?  I have various backups taken at various dates, some of which have different passwords.  I have all these passwords stored as well...just in case, but I am not sure if I need them all. 

I got it working, though because I used my secret weapon---(thanks @riverhead).  Now I just have to wait for syncing.
