I pulled the latest git today and backup is running with MQ3 skin enabled, so far so good.
But then i looked at what exactly is being backuped and i still miss a few things form userdata folder.

Folders not backuped are:
- keymaps
- peripheral_data (not that important i guess)

EDIT:
I checked code and noticed that those 2 folders aren't defined so maybe that's why it's not backuped.

In OpenELEC there is also a config folder outside userdata folder , is there a way i can add this?

I also noticed it's doing a full update every time, maybe doing incremental updates is better?

Glad that it is working. I should probably add the keymaps folder at the least as some people may be making custom keymap entries there. As far as OpenELEC support I could add an extra toggle for OpenELEC specific files in the settings. Are there any other folders under the user profile that OpenELEC creates that may be important?

As far as the incremental updates - I totally agree that would be the best. The caveat is that there is no reliable way to get the timestamps for files from remote systems. The XBMC JSON RPC does not return them, and the built in python modules only do local files/folders very well. If I was to restrict the addon to something like only SMB shares I may be able to find a smb python library that would get the timestamps, but I'd like to use the built in xbmc protocols where possible and the functionality for that just isn't there yet. As such it can still take quite a while if you have multiple skins or lots of thumbnails/fanart to copy everything over.

I'm holding off submitting this to the addons repo just yet, I have found an issue with the way the JSON Files.GetDirectory command returns filenames for zip files that garbles them. On github I have added a catch to filter these files out, but am waiting back from some info on if this can be fixed before submitting.
