Backup and Restore Loses the Folder Structure

Hello. I'm having a problem with the Backup and Restore functionality.

I have two accounts and need to move diagrams from one account to the second. This is not a 'share' as I need an actual unassociated copy which the second account can use.

I performed a backup from the first account and then restored that file into the second account. It appears the files transferred ok into the second account BUT there was no folder structure carried across so I just have a 'pile' of docs in the 'Restore-YYYY-MM-DD' folder. This is problematic on two counts. First the docs are carefully organised in folders and are now totally random so it would take ages to work out what are the docs I need to keep in the new account (I need to delete a bunch of folders I don't want in the second account). Second if I were just doing a restore because I'd lost stuff I'd be in exactly the same position; lots of docs but completely disorganised. How do I retain the folder structure below the Restore-YY-MM-DD folder.

Thanks
