Ewan, I believe that Tim (based on pers.  comment from Tim) didn't fix
Restore (fully) in that patch, but save now works, which it didn't
before this patch. So restore is still broken. 

So you'll want to re-open (or not close) bug 929, as it's not completely
fixed yet. [Note that the bug is reported on the changeset that Tim
checked in].
