[BackupDB] issue with "\n"

I have just use BackupDB ver 1.0.3 to 'Create website-template' (using a Typo 2.7.2 install) on a live site and transferred to a local site. Unfortunately the local site now has "\n" appearing all over the place, generally where there is a space. Problem was cured (as far as I can tell) by doing a "find and replace" on the generated .sql file (using Notepad++) to remove all instances of "\\n" and re-doing the Import Template. Can anyone tell me whether I have done something wrong or whether this might be a bug?
Thanks
Bill
