What did you get the backup from? You should simply be able to rename it as KoboReader.sqlite and copy it to the .kobo directory on your Kobo.
If you have the Kobo Utilities installed on calibre (for me, a must have), on the second page of the configuration dialog, you can configure an automatic backup. See the attached image for how I configured it. You can simply extract the two .sqlite from the created .zip file and copy them back to your Kobo. My workaround for the database corruption issue is to reboot my Kobo ereaders before connecting them to the computer. This is done from NickelMenu. The NM config file entries I use are (allow reboot from Main, My Books and while reading): Code:
menu_item : main : Reboot : power : reboot menu_item : library : Reboot : power : reboot menu_item : reader : Reboot : power : reboot |

I got it using calibre kobo utilities plugin. It works like a save as feature for an sqlite file but it doesn’t actually show you which one it is. It is interesting you were saying it’s a zip file but for me it’s a sqlite file. But mine was a manual operation not an automated back up.

The first part of my reply was in regards to your manual backup. The second part referred to Kobo Utilities automated backup which generates a .zip file. |

Hello,
The right file to replace is : KoboReader.sqlite The corrupted original KoboReader.sqlite file has therefore to be deleted ou renamed. The backup.sqlite file has to be be copied in the .kobo directory of the reader then renamed as KoboReader.sqlite. Enjoy your reader, Have a good day, -- Mic_Jacq |

One item to remember is that there are two databases (KoboReader.sqlite and BookReader.sqlite). Both are included in the Kobo Utilities generated backup file and both should be replaced when restoring. While not as common, davidfor and I noted corruption in both databases.
