If you have a way of copying the archives to your web server manually it should still work. I'm fairly certain http will work for downloads, just not uploads at the moment. Probably not the beset solution for automatic backups but if your goal is to have a remote setup that you'll update occasionally that could work.

I'm having an issue running this addon on Kodi on my Amazon Fire TV. I currently have this backup on a scheduler to run every Tuesday at 3:00 AM. When the AFTV boots and Kodi starts up, I get a popup in the lower right corner that will show something along the lines of "Backup will run at 01-31-1969". It's some super old date. If I disable and re enable the addon, I get a popup saying the correct date that the addon will run. It's like the system boots up before the addon starts, would it be possible to add a start-up delay for the addon?

I have a windows and a linux box both on Kodi 15. I am trying to port the configuration from the windows system to the linux box, but when I go to restore it gives my a path invalid error. I am guessing it is becuase the .zip bas create in C:\Temp and the restor is coming from /home. Anyone have any idea home to accomplish this?

I did it. And here is a brief how I did it.
I manually added RunScript(script.xbmcbackup,mode=restore) into favorites.xml and linked that favorite to a custom menu option. So when it is clicked, it goes straight to the popup window that displays the folders.
Hope that helps.

Hi Rob,
I am just wondering if I need to do something special while running your add-on on amazon fire stick? I have one running on RPi without any issues, but the one on Amazon Fire stick is giving me error after I put all information into secret codes etc.
Thank you in advance,
