Hi Hamilton,
sorry but I didn't see your 2nd post before answering you. I've make your test and everything seems to work fine in my server/browser/DB/OS combination!!
Perhaps, if you send here more details about your environment, somebody could test it.
Anyway, now that I understand (I hope ) your problem, I think that it has nothing to do with the backup/restore process (sure that it cannot convert that "negative bullet" char).
Now we've to analyse why your HTML editor is doing that!!
Ciao
