Just some comment on this...
After restoring my configuration via Backup add-on, the settings.xml of the Estuary skin with the changed main menu is indeed written. But the main menu does not change on-the-fly. When I now exit Kodi, the restored settings.xml again gets overwritten with the previous one. I have to "force stop" Kodi on Android after restoring from backup so that Kodi does not have the chance to overwrite certain config files on exit again.

Unless the backup addon's changed since I last used it (a good while ago), IIRC you can't restore a settings file that's in use. So switch to a different skin, do the restore, switch back and estuary settings should be restored. Probably.
The same limitation applies (or at least used to) to guisettings.xml - it's restored but not applied.
