Sorry. What I meant was I don't need to reboot my Linux box. It just restarts Xbmc and takes 2 seconds ranger than a full reboot so it's not useless for me.

I am using XBMCBackup on FireTV and it works beautifully....thanks!! However, there are couple of issues:
1. I have both Frodo and Gotham builds installed on my AFTV and need to back up the settings for both of them. I was hoping to use the same folder for backing up settings for both Frodo and Gotham, but it seems that is not possible. Let me know if this is expected behavior.
2. I am not able to navigate some of the NFS folders to specify the download path in the addon. I can see the folder, but cannot browse (see the contents) or select the folder (get an error). Kindly advice....thanks!!

This addon is great, I've been using it to upload some specific setting to my Dropbox once a week , it only takes 10 mins and it done.
I've been using the custom folders function for this. I'm trying to replicate this with another addon but I only need to backup a single file , is there anyway to select the one file instead of the folder in this instance. I would select the whole folder but it take over 2 hours if I do it this way.
Thanks.

Should this work when moving from a 32bit version of XBMC (Openelec) to 64bit?
I had a quick go last night, but TVHeadend wouldn't work properly ("Tvheadend HTPS client connection lost") after a clean install and restoring a backup, but I'll give it another go tonight.

What am I doing wrong?
I backed up xbmc on my test pc (win7pro, frodo, aeon nox) this morning and restored it to my new PC (win8, frodo, aeon nox), and the movies all came in fine (all on my NAS), and the main artwork is there for each title, but absolutely NO "extrafanart" or "extrathumbs" are showing up. Even worse, it won't let me redo them (either as a new run of ArtDownloader, or individually on a movie at a time) as it seems to see that the image files exist in the appropriate folders for each movie.
I found, however, that I could delete the Textures13.db on the new PC and copy the old Textures13.db to the new database folder, and now it all looks great again.
The program description says it backs thumbnails up, so why did it not update the Textures13.db file?

I'm trying to write a script that will call a specific restore, and can see from the readme on github this is possible.
I'm very new to coding, and struggling to understand how to implement this.
Would you be so kind as to get me started?
Can I do this with python, or will I have to use JSON, and how do I locate the 'Archive' number?
