Description

In a course containing assignments/quizzes set Gradebook to simple weighted mean of grades, and the main course category to '1' for drop the lowest.
Backup the course (with users), restore; drop to lowest grade setting for '1' is not found and is reverted to '0'.
The backup was tested again with 'include grade history', and the restore displayed the same behavior.
Reported by client, tested and verified on pure Moodle 2.2.3.
