Hi,

instead of resetting everything and then restoring the other data from a
backup while using dconf, try using gsettings. Gesettings allows you to
just reset specific settings, such as all virt-manager settings or even
just some virt-manager settings. I've never done this for virt-manager
settings, but once tested it for other settings. Ihave used both dconf
and gsettings frequently and most of the time gsetttings is the better
solution.

$ gsettings help | grep reset
  reset                     Reset the value of a key
  reset-recursively         Reset all values in a given schema

$ gsettings list-schemas | grep virt
org.virt-manager.virt-manager
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.confirm
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.connections
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.console
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.details
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.new-vm
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.paths
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.stats
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.urls
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.vmlist-fields

$ gsettings list-recursively org.virt-manager.virt-manager | grep net
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.stats enable-net-poll true
org.virt-manager.virt-manager.vmlist-fields network-traffic false
