Hi everyone,
I have a Minix x8h plus and I have installed all addons and skins etc etc. My friend now wants the same so I ordered the same box.
Is there a way to clone the entire box or even just kodi so everything is the same?
I have tried the backup program addon but that doesn't work
I'm using kodi helix 14.2
Thanks in advance

I have used clonezilla on Linux based kodi machines to do that. Once I get the system to where you want it, use the CloneZilla livecd and make a copy. Then restore that image onto the new machine.
No idea if it would work on the Minix android devices though

Use a file explorer app like ES File Explorer, then go to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/ copy all the folders in there to the same location on the new box.
Keep in mind this will add everything that you have including your library add their paths. Your friend may need to delete those libraries and add their own.

Why did that not work? I have installed many friends' boxes with my settings (so as to make future maintenance hassle free) and apart from reinstalling the Add-on shortcuts, which never carry over, all goes well.

One final thing. What I did find was that in trying to put Isengard v15 on afresh it would not recognise an external HD, on which I had my Back up settings. I had to put on Helix v14.2 first (which did recognise the ext.HD) and then install v15 over v14.2.
This may have nothing to do with your problem but thought it worth mentioning.
