Error: Question Categories backup

I am using Moodle 1.9 (2007051801) on my localhost and when I am trying to backup & restore a course everything goes fine except question categories table.

I have 231 categories and subcategories, 2621 questions and 55 quizes. All data are saved, but categories are always mixed up in some way (I can restore cca a half, usually from the top of table) although report and moodle.xml says everything is OK.

Is there a bug with 1.9 that will be fixed soon or something is wrong with my data, base etc?

base: 5.0.21
php: 5.1.4

Moodle 1.9 is currently in development, and is not yet finished. In particular, Jamie Pratt is doing some big changes to the way question categories work, so I would not be surprised if there are things that don't completely work at the moment.

Over the next month or so, as we try to get 1.9 finished, this sort of bug report will be very helpful.

I solved it last night after reading your post: What should happen when you backup a quiz using published categories from other courses?

Some of the stamps were identical and I fixed it manually, LOL.

I do not remember that I put some of categories through phpMyAdmin changing only ID and parent because I have many sets of this subcat almost identical and I was bother to do that through the Moodle. But it is possible since this filed is not unique I think, silly me blush
