Hi,

So, before anything else, you should make a backup of the whole thing
and put that somewhere safe.

The command you quoted will copy backup.bzr inside .bzr.  Whereas what
you actually want is to move .bzr away, then mv backup.bzr to .bzr.
That should get you going again, then you can file a bug for the other
issue.
