Hallo Question Are you using the backup software that comes with Ubuntu-Mate, “dejadup”, to make your backups? see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup/HowItWorks If you want a non-encrypted backup you would have to use another tool (as well as dejadup perhaps?). I use Grsync. see http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/ also useful Does that help?

What you really need to do is install Ubuntu-Mate on a second machine and then try to reinstall your /home from your backup. That's what you want it to do, so if you can go ahead and test it.
