I made a backup, moved it to the SD card, reset the device, upgraded to the same version I had when making the backup (i.e. Aaslakkajärvi), restored the backup from the SD card, and finally restored the backup.
Bookmarks are restored!
Contacts are restored! With avatars! [Edit: but date categories new job/house are changed to weddings - I haven't been married that many times!]
I had to throw in a few exclamation marks, because that was the end of the positive news. No call log, no messages, no notes - these are all gone.
I could restore messages from /home/nemo/.local/share/commhistory/ since I had copied the entire /home/nemo/.local/share and /home/nemo/.config directories to the SD card before resetting (in order to preserve data for other applications) - but the experience was not very uplifting, and I really would have liked to have my notes back!
There was actually something more happening, because the Jolla account I already had configured to perform the system updates was deleted when restoring the backup. However, I don't think that counts as positive news.
Have you tried to restart (turn off and on) your phone after restoring?

If I would have money for another phone then I'll probably throw this against the wall. I've lost motivation the post bug reports here too. There's just too many of them.
