two questions

Why don't the shortcuts on the confluence screen backup?

Why isn't the addon Data setting - set On - as a default in the settings?

Thanks for any reply

you need to copy the guisettings.xml file from your backup onto your new install whilst kodi isnt running

Anybody have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

I think a good educated guess here is that the file you are trying to upload is too large for the library, it is trying to get the file size of the payload for chunking, and you are running out of memory. Now your system itself probably isn't using all it's memory, but the memory allocated to python for such an operation is running out.

Are you compressing the backups? If so just try not doing that. If you aren't compressing then there is a file, or set of files, that is just too big for the library to handle.
