I have xbmc perfectly configured on my firetv. Is there a way, I can copy all files, plugins, settings everything on my xbmc and copy it to a new device? Its a pain to recreate with all skins when building a new system?

You can copy the entire userdata folder, but be aware that some settings might not be correct for your new device, especially if the hardware differs

I did the backup using adbfire. there was an option to backup xbmc and restore xbmc. hope that is the same as backing up userdata. I did see about 95 mb worth of data downloaded.

I have the same question as the previous poster.
On my firetv, I successfully pulled sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc to a folder on my mac. I am assuming I grabbed all the add-on files, config files, etc. It came out to a little over 100 mb.
I reinstalled gotham 13.2 on the same firetv. I then proceeded to try and push the files on my mac back to the firetv.
It gets hung up and outputs an error message saying can't copy some .png file.
I plan on adding 4 more fire tvs to my house and don't want to have to manually set up each one with a remote. What am I doing wrong? Are there any other ways of backing up all my add-on, config files, etc. so I can auto load each machine?

You guys got two replies and didn't follow either of them. Why would you ask again until you tried what was suggested?

Although xbmc backup would work, I've found this little tool that would do it as well. I've done a backup and will be needing to make another fire shortly.

Thanks Ned for your suggestion. I didn't reply because I don't have my new fire yet to test it out on. Once I get it, I'll test out adbfire and also the dropbox.

I used this backup addon on my mx2, with openelec, and xbmc, works well
