Backup and restore fails for applications using a developer certificate		KIS000544
Overview	Backup and restore of applications using the backup_registration.xml file is not functioning as intended when the application is signed using a developer certificate.
Reported against	S60 3rd Edition
Date identified	December 29, 2006
Symptoms
Detailed description	When the application is signed against either a trusted certificate or a self-signed certificate, backup and restore works as expected, provided that the backup registration file is included in the application SIS package. When a developer certificate is used, the restore process fails for that application. This affects all certificates that are bound to specific device ID (IMEI) value(s), most notably developer certificates.
