This is a useful addendum to any backup:

   gsettings list-recursively

My backup procedure dumps the output of that to a file that is included
in the backup.  You can dump a 'restored' system and diff the two files
to discover what you had changed [but have no recollection of] and
restore the setting(s) using the same command.
