restore backup can still fail, if backup file itself is broken..
need to save backup when it works and confirm that its xml file.

  • validate backup file when creating it
  • create secondary backup file?
  • allow exporting settings to file (or basically, button to browse config folder, so user can take manual copy)
  • dialog needs 3rd option, "reset settings", because if backup file is also broken, cannot get past this dialog, until go delete the file manually
