        Hi,
the event has:
   DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221231
   DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230101
thus it is defined as being on the December 31st. In other words, the
calendar contains the event set as such, which Evolution follows. How
that happened (supposing the even had been shown on the January 1st
some time ago) I do not know. I doubt the restore from backup caused
it, the calendars are left untouched during the restore.

The computer name used to be used as part of a unique identificator
(UID) for the calendar/book/mail account/... The UID does not change on
restore from a backup, it's preserved. Recreating the accounts from
scratch you'll see hexa-numbers instead.
