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, updated September 17, 2007
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.
How to reproduce	-
Solution	This has been fixed in S60 3rd Edition, FP1 in spring 2007 (e.g. Nokia N95, firmware 12.0.13 onwards). See also article TSS000750_-_Enabling_backup_and_restore_for_installed_C++_applications.
