I agree with Pierce, instead of OK buttom we can have another message
like "start restore" or just "restore".
I don't remember how much times inadvertently press OK buttom to close
this screen. (Yeah, I was thinking that this occur only with me :P )
This is a little change, but will help a lot.

TIA.
