I'm trying to restore a backup copy of my wallet made on 0.6.0 on one computer to another computer with a fresh install of 0.6.0, and I get the following exception:

Any tips?

Nothing is lost .. it seems the client has some issues importing the JSON format ..
make sure you have a backup and remember the password .. devs will fix this eventually ...
In the meantime let's figure out if something is wrong with your backup. Would you please open your backup (json file) in a notepad and take a look at the very last lines?
It has happend in earlier version that a comma "," was missing so that the JSON format was invalid .. would you verify that every line that is not followed by a "}" ends with a "," .. if it is the case with your backup .. the missing comma is supposed to be at the end of the file
-
I'm not too good with the coding language type stuff, but from the looks of it there are quite a few lines that don't end with a ",". For example, the last 7 lines look like this:
"encrypted_private_key": "",
"valid_from_signature": false,
"memo": null,
"gen_seq_number": 0
}
}
]
In which case the last 4 lines do not have commas. Does that look right? I appreciate the help.

looks ok too me ..

I will take a look: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/issues/1363
We will likely put out 0.6.1 sometime this week with this + other minor fixes.

I had a similar issue when trying to restore a wallet from a json in the 6.0 gui:
Failed to restore wallet backup. Your original wallet has been restored. Error: invalid password (20001) Invalid Password!
The password I used was correct, I have never changed it.....
Are there instructions somewhere for restoring a wallet from a json backup using the console?

Did that help you crypto_p?
Mine is throwing this error also.

No, I tried to restore with the JSON from the console, but I kept getting "invalid name for a wallet" error. I assume the <wallet_name> field should be populated with your bts account name, right? I tried a bunch of things, but kept getting the same error.
I just ended up importing the master key and rescanning the blockchain, since the wallet never had any market transactions.

Ok, thank you for quick reply. Guess I'll have to sit tight a bit longer for a fix?!!!

This is still a problem.

Actually, this problem was fixed for me in 0.6.1. My backup came in just fine.

I can only access a recently saved wallet, all my other back-ups return this error (even though the passwords are correct) so I'm unable to access the majority of my BTS.

I have been trying to track this down but still cannot reproduce or find anything that might have changed in the code involving backup import.
The workaround for now is to temporarily use 0.5.3 to import the backup, then upgrade to 0.6.x.

That worked. Thanks for the quick response.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem when i try to restore an old backup.

Bump,
I still have some funds unavailable.
I tried the 0.5.2 workaround (restore was ok), but one of my accounts in the wallet has some missing CNY (~90%).
I also tried regenerating keys and rescaning the blockchain without success.
-- edit
1) restore old backup (2014-10-28) using v0.5.3 => OK.
2) create new backup with v0.5.3 of the recently restored wallet => OK
3) restore new backup with v0.6.2 => "Invalid Password!" error

After you import the backup into 0.5.3, just upgrade directly to 0.6.2 without making a new backup. Then wait until fully synced and try regenerate + rescan.

Thanks for you help @vikram.
Just wanted to let you know this.
The 0.5.2 workaround worked fine, but CNY funds were still missing. (about 90% of the balance)
Just 1 minute ago i was buying USD with BTS using this "problematic" account.
After i submitted the ask and typed "balance" to see the new USD ... magically all the CNY appeared (apart from the recently purchased USD).
strange ... but all funds are ok. :)
