change it back to 1 afterwards


try Jon's way first - since all versions have their own separate backup folders, it should stop it locking without needing to temp disable the restore

... or just delete relevent stuff in:

C:\Users\gplbrit\AppData\Local\Xara\XtremePro\16\B ackups

[or all of it if you don't need any of the backups]
