I'd guess the display scaling change just affected the logged in user's personal desktop and so would probably have been saved in the user's home directory in the normally hidden sub-directories.
Home directories are excluded for backing up under Timeshift default settings. This could explain why the restore left you in the same place.
Home directories (including hidden) are included for backup by by dejadup (aka Backups) with default settings - though it's not particularly easy to revert a change like this from a backup set.
Ideally there would be a 'Automatically revert changes in 15 seconds' type of confirmation after applying the change to reduce the chances of getting stuck.
Thanks for the information. I'm learning something every day. I'm trying to keep this 63 year old brain active. It's a chore considering what I did to it in the 1980s. [emoji2960]
I've received a few beginner and command line books I'm looking forward to digging into.
