Installed OBH 4.2, previous image OBH 4.1, tried to apply backup settings to 4.2, but said 4.1 not compatible with this version.
Any suggestions as to why this is? Thanks

Because it's a new image, you shouldn't use any backup settings, when installing a completely new build.
You can use dreamboxedit, to back up, and re-install, your channels, and bouquets.
There is also a problem, with 4.2, after installation do an update, before doing a full backup.
I really wonder why the so called personal backups, or settings backup, exists: I've never ever had the chance of using it at every change of version.
The question is: if they cannot be used for a new version why do they exist? Because, frankly, I find useless them for the same version.
If I do a fresh install of the same version I have, is because I want to know if a problem depends on some plugins or customization.
So, if the fresh install solves the problem, I surely don't want to "contaminate" it by the personal backup.
On the contrary, if the fresh install has the same problem of the "complete" install, I simply go back to it by a full backup.
So, the personal backup is completely useless within the same version. But it's never possible to take advantage of it upgrading to a new one.
All the "normal" settings, I mean channels, are too easy to save even without this kind of backup.
So, even this time, I installed everything from scratch and then I had to re-configure tuners, plugins, NAS and mounts one by one...
