Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/162

After a wipe and clockwork mod update to Gingerbread on my Droid X, I tried to restore from SMS Backup +. This failed to complete a couple of times; last error was an IO error.
After restore runs through 7000+ messages, it reports 0 restored with approx. 4000 dupes.

Should I try the "reset" ?
What to do?

For me it worked when I changed the restore option to 500 messages instead of all. But my initial restore was on ~18k messages where ~1k got restored and the rest dupes.
This workaround will take ages tho.

you could try a partial restore: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus#faq-partial-restore
