I notice (Linksys MR7350 build 61465) that in the GUI Administration>Backup tab the Restore section has a checkbox labeled "Keep previous existing settings." As the whole purpose of a restore is to overwrite all existing settings with those stored in a specified backup file, what could this checkbox label possibly mean?
