I do software development on an AT running 3.10, and had a similar
problem with backup/restore.  It turned out that the problem wasn't
with backup/restore at all, but with one of the memory-resident
programs (in this case, NOKEY) that I was using.  If I boot without
loading NOKEY, everything works just fine.  I don't know if other
programs cause this type of behavior or not.  Sidekick doesn't cause
any problems.

Hopefully helpfully,
