I was browsing and cleaning my backups, when I accidentally slipped and selected 'restore' instead of 'delete' for an old backup. There was no way.of stopping the device from restoring a backup from 2014-02-02...

I think this has been fixed in 3.3.0.14 (if not before..?) The restore button now leads to dialog page to confirms the action.
Also, I can only see the latest backup, not any older ones, so I don't think you can remove old backups via the GUI currently. I suspect this is a side effect of enabling the backup to NextCloud (OwnCloud works, too).

it needs double 'Are you sure' dialogs.
