Here is what I did now:
I copied my backup dir into:
serverRoot/slapd- serverID/bak/ backup_name
So when you click retore button it actually find the name of back and directory
and yet it will produce error53 (failed to read the backup file set from....)
Here is ls -al from /tmp/2007_backup
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ldapds ldapds 18 Oct 18 14:17 DBVERSION
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ldapds ldapds 50218 Oct 18 14:17 dse_index.ldif
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ldapds ldapds 1211 Oct 18 14:17 dse_instance.ldif
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ldapds ldapds 4070917 Oct 18 14:17 log.0000000749
drwxrwxrwx 2 ldapds ldapds 4096 Oct 18 14:17 NetscapeRoot
drwxrwxrwx 2 ldapds ldapds 4096 Oct 18 14:17 PolicySvr4
drwxrwxrwx 2 ldapds ldapds 4096 Oct 18 14:17 userRoot
If you specify /tmp/2007_bak as restore dir you get error 53
You can specify /tmp/2007_bak/NetscapeRoot....etc all 3 subdir and it will work
Yet!!! here is what you get in error log
[24/Oct/2007:13:34:45 -0500] - Warning: config backup file dse_instance.ldif not found in backup
[24/Oct/2007:13:34:45 -0500] - Warning: config backup file dse_index.ldif not found in back
No kiiding they are in top level dir.
I wounder if this ever worked?

How did you do the import?

Can you post an ls -lR of the backup directory?

Check the server error log.
