When I backup I just copy the entire org.xbmc.kodi folder to an external sdcard. You can probably use an external hard drive or some other media. Once your TV issue is resolved install kodi, then delete org.xbmc.kodi and copy your backup back to it. You may need to re do widgets and background art depending on what skin you use.

Will this method also preserve my skin settings?

It preserves everything - you're saving all the data kodi has stored.

Just popping back to say a VERY BIG THANKS to you both for your assistance.

I've just 'reinstalled' Kodi and copied that folder across and.... well.... just WoW!!!

It's such a remarkably simple process when you know how and, happily, now I do too.

Awesome!!!!

Another little trick I use it for is to try the beta versions. Simply RENAME the kodi folder to anything else THEN uninstall kodi. Then install the test version and viola! Clean install. When you're done, uninstall kodi and delete kodi folder. Install your kodi back, run it once, delete that new kodi folder and then rename your old folder back to kodi.
