I'm running xbmc on several platforms including android tablet, windows 7, xbmcbuntu , rpi

Basically Im using the rpi as a samba share and then wirelessly accessing smb files on the tablets and netbooks
Also i have a second copy of all the media on a win7 HTPC which i use for recording (WMC) and playback (XBMC) in family room.

the question is this.. can I restore to all these platforms from a single backup
( I know that I would have to edit the video node source to reflect whether its E:\Movies or smb:\\rpi\devices\Movies etc )

It would life easier to know that I do not have to backup xbmc on ALL platforms

BTW. Great Add-on !! Its the only one I use

You can restore to all the different platforms from a different backup, the files being backed up are not specific to any one platform. As you said though, you may want to be careful if these locations are pointing to different media locations. Restoring databases or sources files will quickly screw things up if you expect them to point somewhere else. Generally I only recommend this if all your devices are sharing the same source paths. If you aren't backing up the databases though everything else should be fine.

Script failed, plz help.

Looks like you've hit the famous Unicode error. This thing rears it's ugly head from time to time. Does the remote path you are trying to use contain any non-ascii characters?
