It seems I'm gonna have to write a FAQ about backup and restoring Yappari data. Looks like this is the most frequently asked question EVER.

The problem is that you backed up and restore your data as ROOT and Yappari runs as USER and Yappari can't write to ROOT files, only USER files.

After you restore Yappari data, you had to type this command (and type it as root):

chown -R user:users /home/user/.config/scorpius /home/user/.yappari

That will change the permissions to all the files you restored to user:users and Yappari might be able to modify them.
