Have to agree with the discussion. The algorithm seems lacking in need to shut XBMC first before backup or restore of primary user files. It's a complicated issue that might be platform dependent.

This addon does a really great job especially with its integrated scheduler. Unfortunately the contents of the folder "userdata\Thumbnails\a" are not copied to the backup location, only an empty folder is created. If debug logging in XBMC is enabled it shows something like that on a windows machine but its also the same on RaspBMC:
...
17:03:16 T:6364 DEBUG: script.xbmcbackup: Writing file: C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails/9/9fff0fc5.jpg
17:03:16 T:6364 DEBUG: script.xbmcbackup: Writing file: -C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails/a
17:03:16 T:6364 DEBUG: script.xbmcbackup: Writing file: -C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails/b
17:03:16 T:6364 DEBUG: script.xbmcbackup: Writing file: C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails/b/b00019ab.jpg
...
So it seems the addon does not recognize the files in subfolder "a" for backup although there are about 1000 thumbnails in it. That's a very strange behaviour because all other subfolders of userdata/Thumbnails are backed up perfectly.
I would appreciate any hints how to solve that issue...

Thanks for pointing this out. After a few tests I realized my "a" directory was not getting backed up either. I tracked the issue down to a really weird issue with how the matching was done for incorrect file types (like .zip and .rar). Not sure how the "a" directory was matching that filter but it was. As a result none of the files in that directory were getting backed up. I rewrote how this filter works so now it doesn't catch directories that it shouldn't.
If you can pull the modified version of the addon from github and see if it works for you. If you just want the file I modified its in resources\lib\backup.py

Any Suggestions?

Are you trying to download from the repo or install manually. Usually a 0% progress bar and failure means it can't install from the repo. This app doesn't have an deps that you would need to worry about. Check your log, might be a message there related to the installation. Something with the xbmc addon manager for sure.

Firstly, does the add-on overwrite each 'category', or will it just add to what is already in place?
For example, if I have a set up with 10 add-ons, and the restore a backup with 2 add-ons (which aren't already on the system), after the restore has been finished will the system now have 12 add-ons or 2?
Secondly, is it possible to restore from Dropbox through a developer app?
I have tried a few times, it starts as expected but then hangs on 'gathering file list'.
