okay so this is how you do a backup of your kodi bill well this is my Cody Bill
here full of wonderful apps
and basically I want to back this up this is on my computer right now and I
want to take this build I want to put it on my new Android block so I have a t95
Zed plus that has a fresh version of Kodi just installed Kodi seventeen point
six which is the latest right now and I want to install this bill that I have on
my computer on to the box but what I'm gonna do I'm going to make a folder on
my computer for kody backups this today's date which is Intel
and I have a USB memory stick my Kingston memory stick is here and I just
made a new folder called Cody backup
so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to Cody you're going to go to install
from repository and you're going to go down to the Cody
repository
you od add-on repository
and you're gonna go to program add-ons remember this repository comes with Cody
so it's already going to be there so you don't have to install any zip files or
anything this is already going to be inside your default version of Cody so
now you're gonna see backup you're gonna click this and it's going to install
I've already installed backup so obviously I don't need to install it
again but you would just click it click install where you go all right now we go
back to add-ons we go to program add-ons and then we're gonna see backup right
there so click backup give it a second sometimes it lags
like open settings make sure you have everything checked
off from profiles playlists database add-on data user add-ons these are very
important config files to fanart doesn't matter I don't have any custom
directories so as long as you have all these checked you're good except for fan
art doesn't matter now you're going to set the directory
alright the directory is the folder on your computer where your backup is going
to be saved to so if you click on it you're gonna click on that see that
folder I just made was June 10th there it is right there
I'm gonna click that I'm gonna say okay oh there's my desktop Cody backups June
10th that's the folder on my computer I'm
gonna say ok and now I'm gonna click backup again give it a second because
sometimes it legs and now I'm gonna click backup and boom just gonna start
backing up to that folder I've already preset but make sure you do your
presetting first you set the file location you set check all the things so
for it to load and once you get back up it's just going to start doing it right
away
this should take a few minutes so just go make a sandwich whatever blocks and
then when it's done get back to it
okay here we go now it's all finished up but what we can do now you can go to our
back up there it is it's just under gigabyte can be
important for some older boxes there's our June 10th so I put our USB
stick as there's our Kingston so what we're
gonna do is we're gonna take and folder drag it into our Kingston Cody backup
folder
take a second you
okay there we go we're all loaded up on her USB stick
back to drive
nope now we'll put the USB stick into the Android box
all right now our Kingston stick is in the box and we're going to proceed to
restore Cody so we're gonna open this freshly installed version of Cody
absolutely nothing on it we're gonna install our build on to it what we're
gonna do is go to install from repository
I'm gonna go to program add-ons once again we're gonna download the
backup program
give it a second
you
depending on the speed of your internet didn't take too long
make sure you are connected to the Internet obviously if you haven't
connected to the Internet you will not be able to download the backup program
so make sure you are connected and there we are
backup programs installed so click backup give it a second because it does
lag
now it's open we can set our settings so the directory we go down to remote
directory browse remote path like that we're gonna find our Kingston USB stick
now we're gonna go to the kodi backup folder that we made and there's our June
10th folder alright so our full our file is in there it's not going to show it
but it is there that we're just telling it the directory to go to to get to the
file now we're gonna go to file selection add-on data we want to turn
that on profiles turn that on thumbnails fanart doesn't matter I have mine
disabled all the time anyways so I just going to turn it off you can leave it on
it doesn't matter config files is on we don't have any custom directories so
just make sure that the add-on data profiles playlists database all this
user add-ons make sure that's all checked on ok and now we're done just go
okay click enter now we're going to open the backup program again
give it a second cuz it does lag older Android boxes it'll take a long time
it's annoying and now we go down to restore click restore
there's our folder that's our backup file click that and now it's going to
install the Kodi build on to this Android boxes version of Kodi this will
take some minutes this will take 15 to 20 minutes depending on what Android box
you have this so this has two gigs of RAM 16 gig hard drive so it'll probably
only take 10-15 minutes if you have like an Nvidia shield it'll probably take 5
to 10 minutes if you have an old mxq could take an hour you know what I mean
like just depends how new your hardware is so just be patient they'll make a
sandwich whatever just let it do its thing
don't interrupt it don't turn the power off and we'll see when it's done
all right all set here now we got a close Kody so we'll go up to the power
icon up top click exit
our back to the main screen now we can open Kodi once again
and now our build Oh
apps from the computer now installed on to the Android box
there we go
so my personal preference is not to have all this stuff I don't use anything but
the admin that's just me everybody programs Cody their own way so I'm just
gonna go to skin settings but down to the menu as I'm a lazy scroller don't
you know back I just like having everything in front yeah I don't like to
scroll through menus all the time I like to have shortcuts in the front and you
know to each their own but anyways
there it is the bill from the computer is now on the Android box and it's
simple as that I'll just exit Cody and there you go
