Been a few weeks since I've had time to do any coding, but I figured it was about time to get the new version out the door so I fixed up the last few bits and merged it all together this morning.
I've tested this in my home setup with success, but I'll hold off pushing to the repo for a day or two in case anyone here wants to test and report back. As usual please pull from git https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup. Updates for this version include:
1) The long awaited custom directories feature
2) A fix for the troublesome "this addon deleting all my stuff" issue when not using a dedicated backup directory
3) fixes to the scheduler to make it a little more resource efficient
I added the following disclaimer to the README file but thing it's also worth posting here:
WHEN UPDATING TO 0.3.6 OR ABOVE - To fix the very real problem of deleting non xbmc backup files during the backup rotation a simple check for an xbmcbackup.val file is done on each directory to ensure it was created by this addon. To make your old archives compatible with this feature simply create an empty xbmcbackup.val file and put it in each backup archive folder. The easiest way is to create a backup with the new addon and copy the xbmcbackup.val file to your other directories.
