After selecting your backup you'll see a Backup Set selection browser _(version 1.5.0 or greater)_. This will show the name of each set in whatever backup you've chosen. This is a multi-selection box. You can select them all or just a particular one. Once selected the restore process will restore these files only. Versions older than 1.5.0 will restore everything in the backup you've selected. + 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. +## Version Check +First, there is a version check.

If you've created this file and it exists in your restore archive you'll be asked to reboot Kodi.

The Backup addon will prompt you to continue the restore process when you reboot the program. +## System Settings 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. If you're not seeing your addons, or other settings, see the [FAQ](https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/wiki/FAQ) for how to restore these. \ No newline at end of file
