 * Thanks for helping out theme diva. Version 1.3 also includes restore help in 
   the plugin readme and help tab on the manage backups page.

 * Hi
 * I tried to restore but there is a problem with accents, as soon as there is an
   accent the text is missing in the sql database.
    Can you help? thanks

 * ok it was a problem of charset in the sql file.
 * Although in the sql file generated by BackUpWordPress there charset=utf-8, I 
   had to import it using iso-8859-15. And it worked.
    Ps: I use Ubuntu.
