1) Where to read how to setup backup to Google Drive/Dropbox? I.e. where to get all these keys etc. Believe, this information should be added to the first post here or/and to the wiki;
2) Is there any way to add prefix to archived backups? For ex., to have names like `kodi201609251320.zip` instead of just `201609251320.zip`?

Can I use this program or there is an another method?This is possible yes. I just did the reverse. Backup will say the restore is from a different version and ask if you want to continue. Just say yes. You may not want to backup ALL settings and profile info though as when I did the reverse, the controls on Windows now act like Android controls. (Long press instead of right click, different context menus, etc.) Maybe make a couple different backups one with all settings and one without and try each one? Of course, if you want to backup ALL settings you have to select the checkboxes in the program's configuration menu. The default settings don't backup ALL settings (I don't think). So maybe that's where I went wrong, lol. By default, if you don't change anything in the settings before making a backup on Android, I would say restoring it to Windows wouldn't cause the problem described above but I wanted to make you aware of it just in case.

Backing up Super Favorites settings caused me some minor issues. I also had to point addons to their respective folders on Windows from Android as they are different. For example :The Super Favorites save folder is a different directory on Android than it is on Windows so you will have to manually edit the settings later on the target device since it is not the same OS as your backup.
