@themusj - I've merged your issue thread into the main one for the backup addon.

Just to keep things tidy and so that your problem gets the attention of the correct people.

Thank you. 

I am really hurting now. After all of the above where the backup failed me, I have removed and re-installed Kodi several times. But none of my Zip files will install due to dependencies errors. And this is a clean install. I didn't have this problem before. I have unknown sources enabled. First time in my life, a backup system caused more headache than doing nothing. :-( I at ground zero. 

Resolved

Here is how. I opted to remove, reboot TV, re-install Kodi on my TV. I then did a Kodi backup from my Android tablet [without the thumbnails which added a huge amount of time to the backup.] Then I accessed that NFS share once I installed Backup Add-on. {It gave me again dependencies errors even with a new install, but I was able to under dependencies install them one at a time.} I then found the NFS share. Ran the restore. Then when I saw a glimmer of hope, I re-installed the skin. Apparently the skin does not come over during backup. The files are there, but you have to re-apply it.

I hope this helps someone else who may accidentally travel down this road.
