I had five searches named including Unresolved which
did not work right. Then when I made a search for Read,
it worked but was not saved for reuse, twice. Then I
removed Unresolved in case there was a limit of five
named searches. That failed, then on the second try it
worked just fine. Now when I name Read again and try to
run it (and thus save it as well) that operation fails
with:

Please indicate which Roundup version and backend you are using.

How do I tell what Roundup version and backend I am using? I
did not do the install (about one month back, no special
choices, I think) and I cannot see any indication of version.

I tried the Roundup FAQ to see if it said how and noted that
it tries but fails to show its own Version.

"roundup-admin -v" tells you the version 
 
Once you know the version, we can determine the backend by either: 
 
0.8+ 
  look in <tracker home>/db/backend_name 
0.7 or earlier 
  look in <tracker home>/select_db.py
