RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - vudiff1 - 2015-06-20 (2015-06-19, 23:57)ed_davidson Wrote: @vudiff1 if you only want to omit the favourites from certain addons but not the settings from that userdata folder then you will have to restore all the addon_data then using a Mac or PC go in and delete the favourites folder. If you are doing that you might as well backup everything and adjust it on a computer later. Ed, thank you. So, the database folder holds just the users' personal local library. Exactly what I was looking to do, during a restore of a backup to not delete my current database of movies & tv shows from my local network. Thanks again.

Noted RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2015-06-20 Hi Rob I was wondering if you knew of a way to have the temp folder flushed on exit on Android? I have noticed that the contents of the cache folder on a PC get dumped on exit. These backups are pretty big and you have the unzipped and zipped in the temp folder which doesn't get dumped on exit. Any way around this? Backing up non Kodi directories incl. Sub folders? - elchupete - 2015-06-21 Hi there, sorry if this has been asked / answered before, but this thread is quite huge to read through... I'm running Kodi 14.2 on a Mac Mini. I have defined 2 non Kodi folders for backup. One folder contains an apple script and an xx.app This folder gets backed upped, but only the apple script. the .app is ignored The second folder contains additional subfolders in which additional mp3 files are stored. The main folder does not have any files except those subfolders. None of the subfolders gets baccked upped. Is there a way to have everything incl. sub folders backed upped? Thanks Stefan RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - robweber - 2015-06-22 (2015-06-20, 04:51)ed_davidson Wrote: Hi Rob I don't know of a way to force it. The addon attempts to delete the files it creates when it exits, but due to holds from the OS and such these may or may not happen. I've noticed on Windows systems it's like 100% certainty but other systems not always. I suppose you could script something that runs when xbmc shuts down - although again it may not get executed. Some appliance based systems - like OpenElec - don't wait for all addons to close and simply kill them when you give the "exit" command. Maybe script it in the OS? (2015-06-21, 17:24)elchupete Wrote: Hi there, The .app file may be considered a "hidden" file. Try turning on hidden files in the Kodi File Lists settings. The custom directories not recursing all subfolders is a known issue. I believe I fixed it with the most recent set of commits on github but they aren't pushed to the Kodi repo yet.

I've spent enough time copying my userdata folder around that I decided that being able to just click a button and send it on it's way was worth the time coding an addon for it.

I believe I fixed it with the most recent set of commits on github but they aren't pushed to the Kodi repo yet. Installed and tested with latest GitHub Version Both issues seems to be solved. a) Folder incl. subfolders are backed up correctly now. b) my xx.app files is backed up (without activating hidden files)now correctly. .app are basically a special type of folders. So seems to be the case, that the .app was ignored due to the same issue sub directories had been ignored. Thanks for your support. [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2015-06-23 Any idea what's going on here rob when I did a restore. http://goo.gl/RIzmCL [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2015-06-23 I think may have an idea what happened. The zipped file with all the data on get got downloaded to the temp folder. Got the path error so browsed to the temp folder. Did the restore from the unzipped folder. On reboot found everything that was transferred was all 0KB. The zip didn't get extracted correctly. RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - robweber - 2015-06-24 That could be, wonder if the Python zip library didn't like it for some reason. Curiously I looked through that log and couldn't find any reference to the backup addon even being run. All log messages from it are prefaces with "script.xbmcbackup" and that was only found in 1 place where the addon was loaded. I did see this line: GetZipList - Processing zip://%2froot%2f.kodi%2ftemp%2f111111111111.zip/ - but no idea what ran it. [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2015-06-24 Yes I have no idea. The issue I'm having right now is that if I do a restore with just the config data nothing gets extracted, it's all 0 kilobytes. I have to add it to the addons and USERDATA to get it to restore properly. RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - robweber - 2015-06-25 The extracted zip file is 0 kilobytes? Are there any files in it. are you doing the backup with other files or just the config? The files you choose should not affect the extraction. That happens before the script even tries to figure out while files to pull. It treats the extracted file more like a types file path once the extraction occurs. Wonder if this happens with just regular remote folders that aren't zipped. [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2015-06-25 The option I chose was a zipped backup, of the config, which went well. When I tried the restore from the zip and had the path error I checked the folder and all the files were 0 but they were all there. Interesting though. If I try to copy a file to usb in file manager the file copies but when I get it to my laptop the file has nothing in it. I am using MXLINUX. RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - kpitao - 2015-06-26 Hello all, Newbie here.... So I got a Amazon Fire Stick with XMBC Gotham 13.2... I want to backup everything before something happens, but for some reason I cannot get the backup to work.... tiered different ones Backup, XML Backup, etc/ All I get is Script Failed! Can someone help me? Thanks RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - robweber - 2015-06-26 I attempted to push a fix for the Zip file archives giving a "no path found" error. Instead of using the extractAll function I'm extracting one at a time. Had 100% success with this in my test environment. As a bonus I can now show a progress bar for the extraction so you can tell if it's hung or working. Anyone willing to try check out github. I'm going to run more tests and wait for any feedback before pushing to the main repo. @kpitao - you'll have to upload a debug log. "Script failed" isn't very descriptive so I can't speculate on what is going on. Gotham is an older release as well - trying Helix might work better for you. |
