Hmmm, there is no difference between Rpi1 and Rpi2. Did you have enabled any syslog service? The clean function writes some debug messages to the log, like this:

Code:

Jun 14 07:40:14 kmxbilr2 xbian-config: doclean /srv/backup/$(hostname)_backup_home_$(date +%F).img.gz 7
Jun 14 07:40:14 kmxbilr2 xbian-config: doclean ls -t1 /srv/backup/kmxbilr2_backup_home_*.img.gz
Jun 14 07:40:14 kmxbilr2 xbian-config: doclean rm -rf /srv/backup/kmxbilr2_backup_home_2016-06-05.img.gz

1st line: this is your configured image/home file (IMGDEST/HOMEDEST) and # of files to keep
2nd line: this is command to find out matching files
3rd line: this is file to be deleted

Quote:What are the 'some clicks' needed to restore?

Do I need to also back-up home as well as the image? Whats the reason?

It is only possible to restore /home but NOT image backups within XBian config
