Aura H2O Restore backup to new device

[Shadowjack]

I lost my old H2O (never place your reader on top of your car to do something else before driving off - boy do I feel stupid) and have ordered a replacement H2O edition 2. I use the Kobo Utilities plugin to make a backup and I was wondering if I can restore the files in that backup to my reader when it arrives in order to keep my personalized settings and reading history. Or will that cause problems because they aren't the same device.

thanks
