Forgetting about 17, what was left after the restore, was it just the addons that were on the original box or was it the original plus what was already on the new?
Everything was there.
I made a backup to my ftp. A backup file just like I wanted it to be with settings, addons etc.
I started another raspberry pi in this case. This machine had the same OS in it but not the same addons.
Added the backup addon and my FTP source in to the addon.
Downloaded and restored the backup file that was previously created.
After the restore the second pi was restored just like the first one.
One thing though.. the GUISETTINGS.xml will not be backed up.
Good thing to know!
Thanks for trying to help me but I am not getting the answer to my question, which is, what happens to the currently installed addons on the new box. Did your new raspberry pi already have addons installed and if so what happened to them? My new box has many addons already installed, some are the same as the old box and some that are different. You say " the second pi was restored just like the first one". Does this mean that whatever addons were already on the new box were deleted? And what happens to duplicates?
I mean .. if I there is something on the backup that's not on my other pi.. then it will be installed on that raspberry pi to.
