You could simply create a full Kodi backup. Achieving this depends a little bit on the system in use. Most likely you are able to SSH to your RPI. After SSHed into it, do something like:
cp -R ~/.kodi ~/kodi-backup
The command above mght be incorrect. If you tell us which OS you are using on your RPi, then I can share matching commands.
For LibreELEC it has to be:
cp -R /storage/.kodi /storage/kodi-backup
as I'm not too sure if LE will understand ~
for the home-folder and /storage/
is LEs home folder.
You could attach a thumb-drive and copy the folder and all its subfolders to that drive. That makes a full Kodi backup.
If you really want to backup the data of a specific addon.... SSH to the RPI as well. Navigate to your .kodi
folder. Under this folder there is a userdata
-folder and under this a addon_data
-folder which contains subfolders for each add-on you installed. Copying this to a save location would achieve creating a backup of a specific add-on.
