Thanks, I guess your manual export and import by copying the addon names is the best to use at the moment then.

As:
The backup in Minion is currently not working properly as the restore reads the wrong folder.
You can find info about it here:
https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9564

backup -> backups up to .minion\minion-backups\eso-1
restore -> tries to restore from .minion\eso-1
-> So copy the backuped files from the folder e.g. C:\Users\<your windows username>\.minion\minion-backups\eso-1 -> to
C:\Users\<your windows username>\.minion\eso-1

Alternative: just open the zip file manually, check the folder in there for the SavedVariables folder and copy it to your live/ folder to get your SV data back.
As you said already your backup will contain your SavedVariables then. So you would need to extarc the zip file, change each .lua SavedVariables file with a text editor and search + replace your @accountName with the accountName of the new player.
But this will only work for Account wide settings! Character dependent settings need you to find out the uniqueId of your character and replace the uniqueID in the SV files with yours...
Code:
/script d(GetCurrentCharacterId())
in the chat editbox will provide you the ID of your currently logged in character in the chat output window.

Older addons use the character name so you can replace it with your character name directly. But most newer or updated addons switched to the rename-save characterUniqueId (which is unique per server you play on).
