Well, all is calm here once more.
Like bumblebee, my first thought was to uninstall MSPro, re-install and then try to import the backup (through Companion) - so I did that.
I elected to use the default storage area (normally, I keep everything on the external card) and apart from the long time it takes to move 1.5+ Gb of data around, it worked like a dream - just as you would expect.
As I was on a roll (I was happy to get all this stuff back, I wasn't going to worry about where it had been stored) I then tried a re-install to the default external card location - and that worked as well - big grins all round.
What went wrong, I have no idea. Obviously, something got corrupted, but I don't know what or why - I had done nothing unusual to think it was something I had caused. As a beta tester, I've probably mucked around with this app a lot more than many users and it has never done this to me before. I guess it will remain one of life's little mysteries.
One feature (which others have already asked for and I can only agree with them) would have made it just a little easier - incorporate the settings file in the backup. Although not hard to do, trawling through it and trying to remember exactly how I had it tailored to my needs, is a bit of a PITA.
