OSMC backup - cant change path

You could try making a ~/.kodi/userdata/mediasources.xml file containing…

<mediasources>
    <network>
        <location id="0">smb://192.168.1.220/</location>
    </network>
</mediasources>

and then check ~/.kodi/userdata/passwords.xml and make sure it has the correct login information for…

<passwords>
	<path>
        <from pathversion="1">smb://192.168.1.220/</from>
        <to pathversion="1">smb://username:password@192.168.1.220</to>
    </path>
</passwords>

Rebooting to take effect. I had issues with setting the artist information folder to a network location without this. Alternatively you could just make a system mount for your backup location and point to that instead.
