RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - runswithascript - 2016-03-24
If it helps, since posting I have been able to backup successfully using compression a few times with everything set to backup, apart from thumbnails and fanart.
2nd profile missing - asipsis - 2016-03-29
HI guys. I've run the addon successfully many times. I've added a 2nd profile with a different skin (mimic) on 2nd profile and confluence on main. In backup settings I have everything checked on including profiles.
When I run restore it finishes but second profile with new skin is missing. Any advice? Thanks!

I'm guessing it doesn't backup the profiles folder in userdata, just add the profiles folder as one of the custom folders you can have.

I don't think you can set a custom folder inside the Kodi folder. I think it has to be outside of Kodi to get backed up. Try it though.
Are the files in your backup?? Are the files in the backup but not getting restored?? Are you compressing the backups??
RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - asipsis - 2016-03-30
I will try it tn.
I believe when you create a profile it lets you choose where to save it. So I could probably change that to outside Kodi files and do it that way. Will report in later.
Edit - My backups are compressed. I haven't looked to see if they are actually there.
RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - robweber - 2016-03-31
Just wanted to post on here quick and I've been MIA from the forums in a while. I see there are some questions, both here and on the github repo, about some of my addons.
I started a graduate degree program this year in addition to my "day job" - the workload has been an adjustment. I haven't abandoned this addon or anything, just been short of free time. I plan to review the issues and suggestions within the next couple of weeks. I haven't even had time to upgrade my own Kodi systems to Jarvis yet. Please be patient! Thanks.

Absolutely Rob. Take all the time you need. You ADDON is much appreciated. I look forward to any improvements.

RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - Naldjer - 2016-04-18
Hi,
At first, many thanks for this idea. its great!
I've got only some ideas to improve it.
How about some options so the addon will import library's at start up of kodi, and export at the point that kodi shuts off.
Thanks!
RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - merlin_ie - 2016-04-22
Hi, I've been using this great addon for quite some time, but over the last few weeks I've been getting error. Whenever I start it, it just says "backup error - check the log for more information". I'm sorry if I'm posting in wrong place or if it's been answered, but I'm at a loss as to what to do. The only way I can set it back up is to factory reset my android box and after I do restore, the addon stops working so I can't backup anymore. And I've tried reinstalling few times. Running version 1.0.6 Here is LOG
Edit: Forgot to say I'm on Isengard, but it also happens on fresh install of Jarvis

@robweber: I understand you have limited time, I'm just gonna leave this here. Maybe you've seen other Problems like this and need a log, I don't know, just trying to help
Sometimes I'm getting a scheduled Backup Error when my Backup runs at night. The Log says this:

Seems to be some Memory Error but it's totally random, the next Day it usually runs fine again.
RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - daherlihy - 2016-05-19
Hi there,
I use Kodi across a variety of devices (tablet, phone, windows PC, latop and raspberry Pi). I try to keep the same add-ons and settings between them all and Google Drive is my preference in terms of backing up to and restoring from using the Backup add-on. However after entering my Google account email address and password in the addon settings, I keep on getting presented with this:
I generated the Google Applications Password and entered into there, but got an error notification then in the bottom right.
Can anyone tell me what I need to be doing here? I've searched this thread already but was unable to find the solution.
RE: [Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - JimK - 2016-05-29
Backup File settings question.
I made a Kodi backup with thumbnails/fanart set to NO, should I also set thumbnails/fanart set to NO on restore
[Release] Backup (formally XBMC Backup) - ed_davidson - 2016-05-29
Doesn't matter if there aren't any files to restore. Now if you wanted to backup everything then restore everything apart from the thumbs then you would have to click no on the restore.
You can put everything to yes on the restore, it's only going to restore what's in the backup.

Did you get the google drive api activation URL from the Kodi log and goto that URL and ptess 'Allow' and received device activation code
