Right now there is no such provision but I can tell you what you can do instead.
First of all, take your backup in ZIP format so you can easily extract it.
Look at the extracted files under:
- installation/template/angie Main template chrome.
- installation/angie/views/*/tmpl View templates.
- installation/angie/platform/views/*/tmpl View templates specific to the Joomla! restoration process.
- installation/angie/js JavaScript files for the views.
- installation/angie/platform/js JavaScript files for the views specific to the Joomla! restoration process.
You will need to modify these files to match your needs. The view templates work in the same way as Joomla components' view templates. In fact, if you are familiar with our FOF framework you might realize that ANGIE's framework is actually "FOF light"; it is, in fact, based on a mix of code taken from FOF 1.2 and 2.0 with some stuff from the Joomla Framework (previously called Joomla Platform).
After modifying these files ZIP the files again using only fast compression (the "Deflate" algorithm).
If you are planning on doing this routinely you can just create a ZIP file with the template files and merge the two files after taking a backup. This is very simple to automate using our CLI backup script and the free
zipmerge utilty. If you're on Windows you may need to use WSL (the Windows Subsystem for Linux, a.k.a. Bash on Ubuntu on Windows) to have access to zipmerge.
