[Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2015-12-15

I think you have to ssh into the box to get the log file. But I'm not totally sure.

Backup to google drive from 'script.xbmcbackup' - scarey - 2015-12-24

Hello,

I'm running the most up to date kodi on an amazon tv stick.

A solution posted here may reach more kodi users.

The problem I have is backing up to gdrive. I have followed the instructions precisely and it appears to be generating the zip file for backup transfer when it suddenly crashes kodi.

Log file details below (user specific details redacted from the copy and paste)

I only got as far as noticing the call to 'none type' but I'm not sure how to proceed with that or if that's the right place to start.

If the moderators consider this thread should be posted directly to the author (robweber according to the app), pls advise me and delete this thread. I am posting similar report to the author and will update this thread if an answer is provided.

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - scarey - 2015-12-24

I *think* I solved this issue by replacing this (at line 620ish of client.py):

try:
data['token_expiry'] = datetime.datetime.strptime(
data['token_expiry'], EXPIRY_FORMAT)

with this:

try:
data['token_expiry'] = datetime.datetime.strptime(
time.strptime(data['token_expiry']), EXPIRY_FORMAT)

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - JamesGrey - 2015-12-30

I have just set up my Minix X8 and when I try to do the backup it works but at the end it comes up with a message that says "Not all files backed up"

I am worried that if I do a fresh install the restore will not work.

Anything I can try to correct this error message?

Thank You

Hi, does anyone know how to hide the backup notification on Kodi startup? I want it to run completely silent.

Thanks

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - Candyman - 2016-01-03

Request for help please.
Backup addon seems to have wrecked my install.

I had installed the addon in order to clone my set-up to another tablet.
It did not seem to be working properly as everytime I set the backup save path it was not saved - when I tried to do a backup it gave the path does not exist error. When I went back to the config screen the path was blank again.
Anyway, after two or three attempts I gave up and closed Kodi. Please note - I did nothing else with Kodi during this run.

When I restarted it later I got a "preparing for first run" loader (incidently with a much magnified logo) and then a black screen.

On investigation, all config files and install are still in place but I cannot get Kodi going again.

Any help gratefully recieved.

Hi

thank you for this useful addon! Recntly I had to look up something in kodi.log, but I found it hard to find it, because the log was filled with hundreds of lines saying WARNING: FileNFS::OpenForWrite() called with overwriting enabled! - //openelec/201512310300/addons/metadata.themoviedb.org/resources/language/Vietnamese/strings.po

It gives this warning for every file that is being backed up.
the whole process looks like this:

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - costamich - 2016-01-16

Hello Rob,
I can not restore a zip backup from an ftp location. I have successfully made a backup to the ftp, but I just can not restore one. It connects to the ftp and it can even see the backup, but it fails to restore when I click on the backup itself.

I read in one of your earlier posts that this might be a bug in Python itself. So I have posted my KODI log for you to see. If you can just confirm if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong on my end.

Thank you so much and I applaud your commitment to this great add on, including the support you have offered with all your responses in this thread!

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ricpiga - 2016-01-18

I find this addon great. I've red you can make multi platform backup/restore.
But when I did a Win backup I did no succeed restoring to android: restore is able to unzip file but then is unable to copy file in directory, it stops with an error. Backup is with win 7 and restore is with a Minix Neo U1. Using the same ver 15 even if for the Minix is a optimized one named Minix Xmbc.
I wonder if Android must be rooted.
Thanks in advance.

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - cynical66 - 2016-01-20

I apologize if this has been covered in a previous post.

I'M NEW AT ALL THIS!

I downloaded 'backup-addon', managed to save a copy of my build to DROPBOX. Now... to test it to make sure I don't loose any info, I took the same APP KEY and APP SECRET that I used and entered the info on my other device. I try to hit restore, and it is asking me for the same AUTHURIZTION URL that it did when I first loaded the BACKUP file for dropbox.

I am trying to RESTORE my saved build from dropbox to the fire stick using 'backup' add-on. is there something i have to change in the dropbox settings or something?

PLEASE - someone please help!

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - nokodemus - 2016-01-28

Hi guys

I'm wondering whether my backup addon works 100% as it should.
Restoring my RPi2 15.2 backup (everything, except thumbnails) to a fresh 15.2 image finishes with an error.
But after rebooting a lot seems to be restored as it should.
Just some video- and hardware acceleration settings and the screen calibration für the different refresh rates, language and region settings are missing and the skin resets to confluence.
Library, DB and the majority of settings look fine.

Is this error something, which is "normal" or could backup addon work even better without any errors if i change something?

Thank you guys and have a nice day.

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - melons2 - 2016-01-31

My backups over time have grown from around 6 or 7gb to (yesterday) 39.5gb.
The addons directory accounting for 9.7gb and userdata being about 31gb of that the directory thumbnails is 21 gb.
Is there anything that I can do to reduce the size of my backup and the time it takes?


Thanks
