I used Backup to create a backup on one android box, all options chosen, also entered custom directory one where I store my backgrounds etc., to copy the back up to a usb stick to restore on a different android box.
Both android boxes have stable release Jarvis 16.1 installed, the target android box was a clean install from play store and Backup addon installed.
The restore appeared to be stuck at 99% cleaning up, after waiting half an hour at this point I cancelled the restore and all seems ok.
Any idea why the restore stuck at 99%, was I too impatient after waiting only over half an hour?

Yesterday I tried to use a backup that I made from SPMC on the new alpha v17 of Kodi. Previous, some months ago, I was on Kodi 16.1 but has DTS-MHD was ceased (from experimental builds) I decided to move to SPMC. Then successfully I did made a backup on Kodi and restore it fine to SPMC. Now with the release of alpha v17, knowing that already has support for pass-trough of HD audio codecs, I decided to make a jump.
I made a backup on SPMC and went on Kodi to make the restore. On kodi, data was as I leave it some months ago. I tried that time, no go... nothing was replaced by the backup. Made a 2nd time and the same. Then I decided to clean data from Kodi. 3rd tentative and still nothing!! Nothing was restore even with after a clean data on Kodi !! I also exit Kodi in between and even force to close it in app settings, but nothing came from the restore...
Any ideas why this didn't work??
Where can I look for the logs?

Nope, for me I don't have that thing with the addons disabled...
Mine simple doesn't restore anything from SPMC.

Hi all,
I installed the Backup program addon and now i want to make a back up and install this backup onto my friends Android box and Kodi. So that he have exactly the same Kodi as i have.
After installing the addon i set up the backup path. When i now try to make a backup, i keep getting the message 'Write error detected'. I already formated my usb and even tried three other usb's with the same results. I also tried two different sd cards, no help either...Any idea or suggestions what im doing wrong here?
Im using Kodi 16.1 and have a M8S+ Android box, Thanks in advance all!

I have made my backups to dropbox, but I keep getting dropbox connection errors. Is it possible to download the actual backup info so I can save it on the local harddrive and execute the backup from there?

Hi. I have installed v1.0.6 of Backup onto 16.1 jarvis (on win10 pro). The thing is that the setting "Backups to keep" seems to have no effect whatsoever. I set the setting to '1' or '2' to keep. And the older ones should deleted. Then I manually trigger it 3, 4 times, and all the previous backups remain there afterwards.
My backup destination is a direct smb:// share url.
.. Ah:
Because my manually entered path did not end in a /
So I changed that and it works now.

Have You tried opening the zipfile with 7Zip, WinRAR or similar?
Just to see if it's corrupt or not.
