Under XBMC Settings -> Addons -> Enabled Addons (you may need to go up one folder level in the addons screen to see the enabled addons node, depends on the skin).

Once there find the XBMC Backup addon under Program Addons and bring up the addon information screen. From here you can select uninstall. I don't think this also deletes addon specific settings so it may be worth finding you userdata folder and deleting the xbmcbackup data folder under addon_data. If you are on an atv you'll probably need shell access to do this.

That should clear out all traces of the addon so you can start over.


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - dallasnights - 2012-05-28

ok did a clean install 100% I think, deleted as you said, went into Winscp and deleted all userdata under the adon
Installed fresh
Picked a directory on my Win7 machine
Clicked on Addon

Went to Windows 7 machine, it starts and creates xbmc_backup directory where I wanted
But after 10 min boom it crashes back to front of ATV2
Went into directory on Win 7 nothing in directory no files nothing

Here is the only log i have for when I use this addon

All that can be confirmed from the log file is that the gathering of the file list completed, it may be that the actual writing from source to destination is having an issue. I added some additional logging to the version on github. If you can replace the default.py file of the version you have with the one from github your log file will start to have better information in it (also turn on debug logging in xbmc). Please post the full debug log to pastebin - not just the section where the addon is running.

RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - dallasnights - 2012-05-28

ok my log was way too big for pastebin

So here it is for your use
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=A821DE4EFCA14FF7!223

I tried again and it creates directory on PC but never puts any files in there

Hope this helps, be back later on to check on progress

Thanks


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - matt77303 - 2012-05-28

Hi mate

is this right for my cron.xml?

<?xml version="1.0" ?> <cron/>
<cron>
<job name="backup xbmc" command="RunScript(script.xbmcbackup) " expression="59 23 * * *" show_notification="true" />
</cron>

im hoping that will back it run everynight at 11.59?

do i need to do anything else?

Matt

The script makes a closed cron tag when it makes the file at first run. I deleted it from your example above, cut ans paste into the cron.xml file and that should work.


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - matt77303 - 2012-05-29

Thanks bud, I'll give it a try when I finish work.

Matt


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - dallasnights - 2012-05-29

did the log I provided help you figures out what is wrong, is there a new build to try yet

Thanks for a great plugin hope to get to work soon


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - matt77303 - 2012-05-29

everyting is working perfectly, got it backing up everynight with the link you did for me, if i wanted to do more to i just add another section to the cron file?

Also i still get a script error when i select 'user addons' in the file selection window, ignore that one and its perfect.
Thanks

Matt
One slight request

i have my xbmc machine set to run xbmc backup everynight at midnight thanks to robweber.

it backs everthing up to a folder on my sever called xbmc_backup and everytime it runs it overrights the files there.

would it be possible to backup to a folder called xbmc_backup_29_05_2012 then if it runs tomorrow it creates a folder called xbmc_backup_30_05_2012 and it copiesw the files to there? so i can pick what date i restore?

Thanks again for 2 brilliant pieces of software.

Matt

RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - robweber - 2012-05-30

@matt77303 - yes, just adding another <job /> tag to the cron.xml file will allow you to add other functions on different timers. The date option is interesting, I can see where it would be useful (and not too hard to implement). I'll add it to my github issues list and try to get it implemented within the next week or so. Not sure about the addons throwing an error - it seems that the json decoders used in parsing the file lists have problems with the filenames in certain addons not being utf compatible. I'm toying with the idea of trying to wrap the "walk" method in a try - catch so that these files can be flagged and everything else continue.

@dallasnights - I'm really at a loss for what you are seeing here. The addon is creating the file list but then stalling out right at the end when it is actually trying to create the files. Just for troubleshooting sake I would attempt to write to a different share - even a local folder - just to rule out any problems on that end. I also see you're running a GIT version of xbmc. Not that it should matter but there could be other issues related to python or the vfs library going on here.

@schumi2004 - tracing the error it looks like the python json libraries don't like something to do with the characters found (utf8 error) in your files. If you turn on debugging you may at least get the name of the file that is causing the error, although it is happening within a python library so there isn't a whole lot that can be done (other than removing the file).


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - dallasnights - 2012-05-30

ok I can try that later, but if not the GIT version where can I get another version that might work
FYI since .08 that latest I have had this problem
The other day I found an older version .02 or 03 I think, and installed that and it worked for a bit starting to copy folders and such then that crashed and returned to the Apple menu. No I dont have that log since I installed the latest over it

Anyhow, not sure what is wrong, but I really want to JB my ATV2 tonight and start fresh but really wanted to backup all my old items so I dont loose things like plugins and favorites and such first

Let me know your thoughts

Thanks


RE: [Release] XBMC Backup - dallasnights - 2012-05-31

could you share maybe Version 0.0.4 or Version 0.0.6 and I can try that

did what you said, tried on another share, my laptop same problem

Let me know thanks
