Are you sure you downloaded it correctly? The file ran for me just fine. Be sure to use the RAW file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robweb...lib/vfs.py

I have also problem with the XBMC Backup. Unfortunately, I am not so skilled, so I do not know where to take the error log which I could provide you to identify the problem.
I am running XBMC 13 Gotham on Windows 7 64bit, using skin Transparency and I installed your script in the intention to backup.
However, all the time I run the add-on and chose "Backup", then I receive an error message "Script error: XBMC Backup" in the progress bar.
I had set up the backup to the local HDD with all the files selections, except the Custom directory.
Could you help me, please?

really appreciate your effort.
I am using a Android set-box with ARM framework. I tried your app. but not fulfilled my need.
What I want is to restore my interface language with selected skin. also the bookmarks and favorite servers listed to above VIDEO/MUSIC/etc.
If it could also list my recent played movie/music, then it will be perfect.
Sorry, my newbie question. Thanks. .

I keep XBMC in suspend mode when not in use. I have a cron on my home NAS that does a WOL just before XBMC Backup is scheduled to run. After the backup is complete the only option in XBMC Backup is to shutdown, which I don't want to do. I'm running OpenELEC, so I created a cron entry in OpenELEC to put the system in suspend mode. I do this 15 minutes after the backup is scheduled to run, which should be plenty of time for the backup to complete.
Could XBMC Backup be updated to allow the system to suspend after the backup has finished?

The restore did not fix the issue, and now I am wondering if one of my settings is the culprit, or a repository that is causing the issue. I am curious is there a simple fix, like removing some of the files that I believe might be the issue, or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks in advance!

I used the back up on github for the Gotham version. It made a back up everything it looked like. I then got to point I wanted to restore. Is this supposed to make the machine look just before? Or does it not change the skin and re add all the sources? Cause if so it didn't do it first time last night and haven't had chance to try again yet. Thanks.
Edit: went in and manually copied and replaced all the information from the back up into correct folders and seemed to do the trick. Sources are all added back and skin is set just got dig into settings. I could tell it didn't copy all because file sizes were different. Was running backup to and from NAS.

One of the most common problems is that you run the restore, but since the guisettings.xml file can't be restored while XBMC is running you don't get any visual changes to the system. This file has all the information regarding your skin preferences and other gui setting information. Odds are this file just wasn't copied.
