I have a Matrix Kodi running on a Google Chromecast with Google TV. It all crashed (my fault trying to add a USB drive which then crapped itself) Anyway, trying to restore from my recent backup.
Using SMB1 and set that in SMB settings. If I add the SMB folder as a source it reads it fine and authenticates but the backup addon when I select restore just gives me a blank list of folders and won't restore yet once I fix this and restore (By manually copying the backup to a location Backup can see I will then be able to backup/restore again.
What is the issue reading an SMB volume in this addon?

Hi,
I used the default backup addon and I saved the file in the Amazon stick TV root, I would like to save the file in an external source such as eg. the PC that I have in the network to share videos with Kodi or in dropbox but for the latter I didn’t understand how to do it, can someone help me, please?

So.. feeling like a moron but the problem was I didn't have a backslash at the end of the path... Yeah that killed it.

Due to a persistent issue with upgrading Kodi from Leia to Matrix, I've been making regular backups of a clean Kodi Matrix installation.
After Kodi became unusable due to a problem with a plugin, I proceeded to restore the most recent made backup.
It was then that I encountered this issue:
When attempting to restore a backup which included a advancedsettings.xml file, the backup did not proceed upon choosing "Yes" for restoring advancedsettings.xml first.
The plugin gave an error and asked me to refer to the log. (I have no idea how to find that)
Eventually I worked around the issue by manually restoring advancedsettings.xml and simply choosing "No" on the "restore first" question.
Am posting this issue here to raise awareness to it, and perhaps assist in the resolving on the issue.
Should any more information be needed, I'd be more the happy to provide it.
