Hi Rob;
The Back up did not work for me. Could be because I have an advanced setting xml. Would it be easier for me to copy files/folders to a msd card from my original identical box and transfer them to the new box? If so which folders do I bring over.

You should be able to do a backup/restore of the advanced settings file. During a restore the addon will even prompt you to restart to make sure your advanced settings take place. If it's easier for you to do a manual file copy I would copy everything in the userdata folder of your first install and copy that to your second. If you want your addons grab that folder as well. Depending on your platform these will be in different places. Here is the wiki page with that info: http://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata

Hi Rob;
Thanks for the Help again Your expertise was right on. Copying the userdata and addon folders made a clone. I am curios if you have thought about doing an addon that simply copies and over writes these two folders. Would solve the gui settings issue for those who are just cloning.
