So, I decided to re-image my Vero4K after about six months having messed around with it. I did a Backup via OSMC/Backup.
After I re-image and choose Restore, nothing happened for a very long time. No status popup, etc. Took me a few tries to figure out that you just have to wait for the list of what to restore to finally come up. When it did, I chose everything (Likewise when I configured the backup I checked everything but thumbnails).
I get an error that not everything could be restored, to check the logs. I choose restart, then look in the log file: kodi.log
and I see no errors about what didn’t restore. Is there a different log for the restore process, and if so, where is it?
When I open the actual backup file manually it looks like the profile.xml
file was backed up, but the actual profiles
directory (and all it’s subdirectory content) was not! As a result all my skin modifications have been lost, as well as the individualized addon settings that live in the individual user profile directories.
I’m really regretting not just doing an SSH login to the box and doing my own backup, because it looks like the OSMC backup missed a lot of stuff, and now I’m gonna be spending the night reconfiguring everything {groan}
