[Release] Backup (formerly XBMC Backup)
#16
Thanks for posting the log. I think you're right about the dash, however I know for a fact that dashes will work since I use them to designate directory vs file when writing the restore.txt document. I'm going to get the skin you're trying to backup and see if I can recreate the error. I'll report back what I find.

I'm not sure anymore cause I just did a lookup of Unicode \u201d and it's a double quotation mark.

Just tried it on both my XBMC installs and the script fails, I'm running Aeon Nox Beta 3.0.0

I'm having a hard time reproducing this (ie, I can't!). The skin may or may not be relevant, although I've tried the ones listed above with no issues on my end. It may be another addon or file path altogether.

@Bond13579 - could you post a full debug log to the xbmc pastebin site? Start with turning on XBMC, then run the backup addon until it errors and post everything. I'm trying to narrow down exactly what addons and settings are being used so I can recreate them. Also, what options are you using - Addons, Addon Data, thumbnails etc.

Thanks.

@robweber: I have the same problem as e2zippo. Was having problems with sound after adding addons. Luckily I backed up xbmc prior to the additions. Although I was getting the script error message described above. After fruitless attempts, I uninstalled xbmc, and reinstalled. I added "xbmc backup" and I'm not able to restore my previous settings. I'm getting the same script error. I tried debugging, but I don't actually see where the "xbmc.log" is stored. Below is the log file. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help!

If you're doing a restore, my guess would be there is an error in your remote path settings. According to the log your path is this - smb://FREENAS/media_drive/downloads/xbmc_backup/xbmc_backup/.

My guess is that originally you specified this: smb://FREENAS/media_drive/downloads/ and then specified that the xbmc_backup folder name be given to the name of the folder you want created for backups (these are two different settings). When you re-installed xbmc backup you then specified the entire folder - including the xbmc_backup sub folder - and expected it to find your backup data. Since another subfolder called xbmc_backup does not exist within this directory you get a "file not found" error.

Try modifying your settings to read smb://FREENAS/media_drive/downloads/ as the remote directory and xbmc_backup as the folder name to see if you get any better results.

Hi,

Firstly - great idea on the plugin! Its quite rare for a really great idea to come out like this! Thanks very much!

Now, I seem to be unable to use the plugin. I am quite noobish to it all. I have a dedicated PC running XBMCbuntu (latest one) and run a Netgear ReadyNAS file server. I have the systems all talking and sharing quite happily. However, when I setup the plugin to backup to the server (smb://Mediaserver/Backup/) with a folder name of XBMC (which has been manually created on the drive).

Everytime I try to run the plugin it says Gathering file list, then quickly a popup saying Error: Script failed: script.xbmcbackup.

Any ideas?

Check your xbmc.log and post it here, it will tell you what is specifically causing the problem. It will most likely be at /home/[username]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

Sorry to be a PITA, how do I get access to the file? Do I need to go via the desktop or can it be accessed via XBMC?

I believe there's a plugin available to upload XBMC logs, but to view it the easiest way to do it would be outside of XBMC via nautilus (The Gnome file manager). You could also use the XBMC filemanager but you have to add a path to it and I believe it doesn't have an option to show hidden files.

I thought this would come in handy but i guess i have the same error as Bond13579 has.

EDIT:
I'm doing a clean install to see were it breaks.
First thing i noticed is that it didn't completely backup my userdata folder,
it didn't backup
userdata
- peripheral_data
- keymaps
config files
database
playlist
thumbnails/fanart

All options enabled, Why?

EDIT2:
It breaks when MQ3 skin installed.

Hey everyone, just wanted to throw a post out here quick to let everyone know I am monitoring this thread. I've away traveling for the past 10 days so I'm just starting to go through these posted logs. The logs are definitely a help so thanks for all the great info. I'll post back here when I have something figured out.
