Hi Rob,
Is it possible with version 1.5.0 to set up more than 1 backup task? This is what I would like to see:
Task 1: Complete backup
Task 2: Only database folder

Hi Rob,
A variety of sets, is what I was looking for. Including the option to do a full backup (alll sers). Compare it with a pc. Daily I only backup specific program folders. Once a month I make a full back up of my C drive.
It seems that the Advanced Editor is able to create different backup tasks/sets, so I'll definitly will test this new options the coming weeks.
I did not use the scheduler in the previous versions. But since version 1.5.0 is able to create different backup sets, I think a scheduler would be a big improvement. I would like to use the scheduler to backup the database folder on a daily basis.

I'm glad you're willing to develop the addon in the direction I suggested. Thanks a lot. I'll visit the Github page every now and than. Good luck with upgrading the addon to Python3.

Does this addon now restore the addons.db File so when upgrading from 17 to 18 addons will be enabled??

I guess yes and no(?). You still have to go in and manually enable the addons after the restore. There is a call to "UpdateAddons()" to refresh the addon list but it's still a manual process.
This started as an addition to how the internals of Kodi work a few years a go to help combat piracy and people who use Kodi as a vehicle for some shady addons. I was approached by the Kodi team and asked not to include any auto-enabling within this addon as it would simply make auto-deploying their crap that much easier. Given the hard stance that the Kodi project has to take against stuff like this, so-as to remain a legitimate media solution, I can understand their position here. I certainly don't want this addon blacklisted as "helping piracy" over something like this.
I realize it's a pain for individual users but the Kodi GUI has some pretty decent ways so quickly enable addons now - even dependencies. I had to restore a bunch of stuff just a few weeks ago and it took maybe 5-10 minutes to quickly go down the addon list and click "enable" on each one after the restore.

Hey Rob, thanks for your hard work on this. I haven't been able to get local storage, network storage or Google Drive storage to work. I either get the error 'Destination may not be writable' and then 'Bcakup complete, some files may not have been written'; OR 'Backup error - check log'.
I can't see anything in the logs (not sure if I need to turn logging on for the add-on. Am I doing something wrong?
