Did you recently create a new field with a 'NOT NULL' constraint without
filling it with data? This may cause problems with backup/restore, but
maybe not the problems you have got.
Can you restore when you deactivate indexes?
If you use VERBOSE mode you can see where the restore stops - does that
give you any clues?
