I have restored from a backup many times on a UNIX server with certificate in a class but there are a lot of other reasons backups fail to restore most common (IMHO) being Phip timeout settings. I would try a restore with bug reporting at developer level and then search for the error and past resolutions.
Custom certificate (plugin)
¿Certificate module just work on a windows server?
