If the path error occurs then go back into the open settings option and change the type path to browse path and browse to the temp folder here is the link to finding the special folder http://kodi.wiki/view/Special_protocol . You will have to have Show hidden files and folders ckecked in the system-> appearance-> file lists option in order to find the temp folder. If doing a restore then you will be faced with 2 files of the same name. Pick the top one as this is the unzipped file in the temp folder.

The issue I'm having is I get these 2 big files staying in my temp folder after I do a restore and it takes up a lot of space.

Thanks much for the backup addon. It works great on my minix android box.
I'm writing to request a "feature". What I need is the ability for the addon to recurse into all sub directories of the chosen custom directory. Currently I get everything in the custom folder but nothing, except the folder name, from any folders contained within the custom directory. I use 2 each 1tb local external drives for backup.
Thanks again for all the great work,
Dr Dan
I'm getting the same issue - when selecting a directory as custom backup target I was only getting the first level of contained subdirectories backed up, and they were empty. At first I thought it was a problem with hidden dirs (display hidden files option is turned on in Kodi appearance settings) like .config (on Linux based OpenElec), but creating a link (with ln -s) from .config to normal "un-hidden" folder /storage/testconfigbackup and using that as the custom target still gave the same issue.
Is there some technical reason I've missed that means recursing through sub-directories of a custom target is impossible ?

But I have a question, is there a way to omit the users' movie, tv and music collection from the restore process to where it keeps those files? Lets say I don't have any movie collections on RPi-1 but I want to have the same settings, addons, etc on RPi-2 but I don't want to wipe out my movie collection during the restore on RP-2. Is there a way to do that? Also, is there a way, using the same logic as above, to keep favorites saved in the addons during a restore?
