Hi guys, I just wanted to check that it is okay to create a backup on one device S805 and restore is to a different device S905x, without wrecking anything.
Regards.

There's one thing you have to remember: when switching to a device with different CPU architecture you will break binary addons and you will need to reinstall them.
But if you use 32-bit build for S905/S905X you shouldn't need to reinstall anything, except if you have some extra DVB drivers installed from LE repo.

Good to know. So if I install a 32 bit version on SD CARD S905x and create a backup, then I would be able to restore that on an S805 cpu without any issues?
Many thanks. -
S905 backup to S805?
Short answer:
Jarvis builds: Should work.
Krypton builds: You'll have to at least reinstall binary addons.Reason: S905 can run every app built for S805 but not the other way round.

Thanks for your help.

If I restore from a backup will it overwrite my library and other addon settings?
