If the addon is running it more than likely won't install. Never really tested this but seems to make sense.
For anyone getting install errors please provide a debug log when you tried to install it. There were 2 updates to both the Frodo and Gotham repos within the past 24 hours. They were approved so I'm assuming they passed any dependency checks on those systems but accidents do happen. I need to see the exact reason before concluding it's an issue with the addon or if you just can't contact the mirror for some reason. Thanks.

Its installed ok now thank god.
But I am a reseller of boxes and use the xbmc back loads to reload new boxes with data files from previous boxes to speedy set them up..
If this happens again , is there a manual addon repo for frodo 12.3 to install xbmcbackup?
Or do you have to always install it fromm the xbmcorg repo ?

I hope there was no question like mine before.
Can I create a backup on windows computer and then restore on openelec from those backup files?
Thank you in advance

Rob, does XBMC Backup also backup the uPnPServer.xml file too? I ask for the same reason as Crssi. As it's been stated elsewhere that this file is unique to the machine it was created on, and should not be migrated to another machine. doing so may cause conflicts if/when both machines become active at the same time, thus both attempting to broadcast the same upnp data.

Hi Rob.
Have you seen the latest version of xbmc USB wizard? It backs up the guisettings.xml and restores it perfectly. Doesn't need a restart after restore either. You should take a look.

Just had a chance to look over the USB Wizard plugin. It appears that instead of restoring the guisettings.xml file it is just adding the missing skin settings by reading them from the old file and then using Skin.Set() to add them to the one running on the box. This is a very interesting way of updating the file.
The upside is that yes, you will get all of your skin related settings back. The downside is that any non-skin related settings like audio settings, video settings, services, timezone, location etc that are also stored in the guisettings.xml file are going to be missing. If there was a way to also insert these into the guisettings file then doing a "transfer" of settings instead of a replace might be a viable option.
