Help and Support

Hi there,

Seems most of the time my backups keep failing “Backup failed to copy the tar file”.

Log:

Someone might be able to tell me where this goes wrong. It started after I upgraded to the latest Kodi.

Thanks!

This is already fixed in the latest staging version. You could update to that.

Ah, not known with “staging” but I gather this is like a beta release and it will be pushed to my update branch eventually ?

Thanks, at least it’s not a config problem on my end then?

Just upgraded rpi 4. Still cannot backup due tar file fails to copy. Am I missing something?

Try deleting everything in ~/.kodi/temp

Do you have a procedure? Am a novice at this stuff.

Access the terminal…

then you can type in…

rm -r ~/.kodi/temp/*
systemctl restart mediacenter

Or alternatively, you could install samba from the My OSMC add-on and from a Windows PC type into the address bar of Windows Explorer two backslashes followed by the ip address of your OSMC device which will give access to the home folder and allow you to delete it using the GUI.
