I keep XBMC in suspend mode when not in use. I have a cron on my home NAS that does a WOL just before XBMC Backup is scheduled to run. After the backup is complete the only option in XBMC Backup is to shutdown, which I don't want to do. I'm running OpenELEC, so I created a cron entry in OpenELEC to put the system in suspend mode. I do this 15 minutes after the backup is scheduled to run, which should be plenty of time for the backup to complete.
Could XBMC Backup be updated to allow the system to suspend after the backup has finished?
Right now the "Shutdown on Complete" function is called the built in Shutdown() function of xbmc. According to the wiki this function will call whatever the default shutdown action, as defined in System Settings is. So in theory you should just be able to adjust this value in XBMC to "suspend" rather than "shutdown" and the addon will execute the correct behavior. I believe the right place is in System Settings -> Power Saving -> Shutdown Function

The restore did not fix the issue, and now I am wondering if one of my settings is the culprit, or a repository that is causing the issue. I am curious is there a simple fix, like removing some of the files that I believe might be the issue, or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks in advance!
I would disable any service addons (one at a time) until you can figure out the problem. A restore will just put all your addons back so you may not fix the issue if one of them is causing the problem.

I used the back up on github for the Gotham version. It made a back up everything it looked like. I then got to point I wanted to restore. Is this supposed to make the machine look just before? Or does it not change the skin and re add all the sources? Cause if so it didn't do it first time last night and haven't had chance to try again yet. Thanks.
Edit: went in and manually copied and replaced all the information from the back up into correct folders and seemed to do the trick. Sources are all added back and skin is set just got dig into settings. I could tell it didn't copy all because file sizes were different. Was running backup to and from NAS.
Are you sure the files didn't copy? I'd need a debug log to confirm that. One of the most common problems is that you run the restore, but since the guisettings.xml file can't be restored while XBMC is running you don't get any visual changes to the system. This file has all the information regarding your skin preferences and other gui setting information. Odds are this file just wasn't copied.
