Restoring a backup after a reinstall

how do you "restore a backup"? like I had to reinstall, and now I'm on the live iso with my system in one partition and my home + var + etc folder backup in another which supposedly should contain all the modifications I ever did to the system can I just copy the folders over?

Oh sorry I read it wrong, you can backup /etc, and /home but /home is quite heavy because all apps are there, so maybe its better to backup specific files, the one you modified and the whole ~/.config folder
