@iclyde thank you for the reply.
My apologies. It is late here and I failed to include an important detail. I was attempting to perform a restore to a brand new installation of WordPress.
After my initial post, I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of WordPress. This time I set the database name and table prefixes the same as in the back-up. I was able to restore the back-up.
I can’t say with a 100% confidence it was a database and table naming issue; it could have been a bad WordPress installation.
I look forward to the newest version.
