None, a normal settings back up stores these settings.

I have found that if I disable DHCP in box network settings then the Google DNS is maintained as set. If set to DHCP then after every re-start it reverts back to the defaults. :confused:

So that works OK then.

Sorry but I prefer to fix issues than just stop them happening as DHCP is an unintended option. :)

If DHCP is an unintended option, why use it?
Using DHCP is always going to let your DHCP server/router control your DNS settings.
Set the box up for static settings & restoring these settings will work fine.

But I don't see any issue; in your post you just show us that everything works as expected :confused:
