Is this the known bug with Windows escaping  (Savannah #25041) or something different? If it is, is the only solution to move to 1.3.0? (Strangely the last line of my error messages is the same as Ryan reported in 1.3.0 ('long filename error' thread))

Hi Dominic,

Due to the typo in robust.py on line 77 ("e.errno" should be "exc.errno") we don't know what error is causing your restore to fail.

I will release 1.2.5 shortly so that we see better error messages. After that, feel free to try again, and we can see what went wrong.
