From memory, the device checks the version of the database each time it restarts. Restoring one from a version or two ago should be OK. Plus, the database version doesn't change with every firmware version. I'll have to do some tests to check.

@ lealla, If I can offer any advice, resolve to manage every aspect of your Kobo library in Calibre including bookshelves with regular external backups, so restoration isn't a painful process. A healthy respect for the Kobo Utilities plugin by not pushing every button to see what it does is also advised.
What did you press? I thought everything was reasonably well explained. It's not hard to do something like reset the reading status of a lot of books, but, you have to do a bit of work to achieve that.
