Bug Description
I had a backup from my old computer on an external HD in a folder, let's call it `old_files`. I got a new computer and had it also set up to back up to this external HD in a folder, let's call it `current_files`.
When I went to Restore and selected this external HD as the source, the Folder field already had `current_files` filled in. I changed it to `old_files` and clicked to the next screen but it said "No backups found."
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was going wrong. Eventually, I was able to solve it by changing my *current* backup location to `old_files`. Then, when I went to Restore, the Folder field had `old_files` filled in, and it was able to find the backups.
So something is going wrong in this folder selection maybe? Or a more general issue with restoring from a different location from where current backups are stored? I'm not sure.
