Can't restore backups

The backup and restore since Aurajoki is broken, and it probably goes without saying that the same problem is on Fiskarsinjoki as well. It have only worked once for me, all the other times it gets stuck on Accounts. I have tried to restart the phone, take out the battery, SD card, SIM card and even restore the device to it's factory settings a few times. Jolla, don't try to fix something that isn't broken, this is what we end up with.

Last time this happened, I was able to at least restore my contacts by extracting the backup package and move the People folder to \home\nemo.vault\, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

I don't care about the accounts, I can sign in later on. Why can't I just skip the accounts?

Edit: Noticed that the if you create a backup while having any accounts active in the Accounts menu, you will have issues with the restoring process. However, if you remove the accounts and then create a backup, you won't have any issues.
