During the restore process there are a few checks and post-run procedures to know about.
The first is a version check. If you are restoring to a different version of Kodi than the one used to create the backup archive you'll get a warning. In most cases it is OK to proceed, just know that some specific items like addons and database files may not work correctly.
The next check is for an advancedsettings.xml file. If you've created this file and it exists in your restore archive you'll be asked to reboot Kodi. This is so that the file can be loaded and used for any special settings, mainly path substitutions, you may have had that would affect the rest of the restore. The Backup addon will prompt you to continue the restore process when you reboot the program.
The last bit of post-processing is done after all the backup files have been restored. If you have restored your configuration files the addon will attempt to restore any system specific settings that it can from the guisettings.xml file. This is done by comparing the restored file with settings via the JSONPRC Settings.SetSettingValue method. Only system specific settings can be restored so you will get any custom views or skin specific settings back. See the FAQ for how to restore these.
