Your customizations are included in the backup only if your backup was
made with a backup wizard configuration that included them, such as
the default "Backup All (project +customizations)." The files that are
included depend on the settings at Step 3 of the Backup Wizard, which
allows you to specify exactly which files are to be included.

To restore your customizations, you must similarly use in the Restore
Wizard a configuration that includes them. And, on Step 3 of the
Restore Wizard, you can tell which items are included in the backup,
because the check boxes for those that are not will be dimmed.

But one caution - restoring the "Preferences > Program Options" item
to a different computer than the one from which the backup was made
can cause problems. Click Help at Step 3 of the Restore Wizard, and
read the Warning in the box for details.
