Hi there to everyone,
I have just registered with the site but always download Kodi from here.
I am using the BACKUP 1.0.3 from Kodi Repo to backup my Kodi Install from my old Android Smart TV Box to install/clone it to my new Android TV Box running 10.0.
I get the backup to work GREAT. The problem/issue starts when I TRY to restore the backup file from my USB Flash drive to my new tv box.
I run backup app on my NEW Android TV box and go to SETTINGS and set the PATH under BROWSE to the FILE containing the BACKUP file I created on my OLD TV Box. But, when I try to RESTORE the file the 'List' of available backups is EMPTY. I keep rechecking the PATH to the backup file in SETTINGS. But, every time I run the RESTORE option the restore List/Window is empty. I did a 'Google Search' and after a few hours trying different suggestions. I always manage to make the backup OK but NEVER got RESTORE to work because the list/window of files was empty.
I finally found a set of instructions to restore from a SPECIFIC folder which was 'android/obb/org.xbmc.kodi' . I checked my USB drive and all those folders were already there! I quickly moved the backup file to the org.xbmc.kodi folder and by magic when I ran Backup APP again & clicked on settings & picked that folder. Then I ran it again & picked RESTORE and thsi time my backup file WAS THERE in the list/window! I selected it and after 3 or 4 minutes it was fininished and when I closed & opened Kodi again ALL my ADDONS & SETTINGS from my old TV Box were there & WORKING!
I am just writing this to ask if my BACKUP FILE MUST always be in the 'org.xbmc.kodi' FILE? Or am I once again being very stupid & thick because when I first did the BACKUP I was able to save the backup file to the location I specified in SETTINGS on the USB because I did not have a clue to check the ANDROID folder etc at that time.
Any comments & suggestions will be very welocme and appreciated by this very nervous and stupid newbie
