While I have you guys here, on another note. When I did my first Kodi Tar backup with the LE program config app, the first backup was 1Gig about, I did 2nd backup this month and that one was 200Mb's which is weird. I did not change anything, or delete or add anything, yet the tar file is much smaller. I could of sworn the first back up asked all the settings I wanted to back up and I check marked them, but for the life of me I don't see that now. Am I missing something here ??
Move / copy the tars to your pc and extract them to see what's been backed up. IIRC it should be everything in storage/.config, /.cache and /.kodi.
Your 2nd backup is presumably incomplete.

OK, maybe that was with the Backup app from Kodi TV, I prefer the LE one as it'll restore your Kodi to it's last backup including all shortcuts and settings.
Well still weird as on both RPI 2 first back ups I did they were both over 1 Gig and the follow up are around 200 MB's

Compare the content of both archives to see what is the difference

I bet some temporary files are responsible for different backup size. A quality backup system shouldn't copy those stuff, so it's maybe a small bug.
Having a long LE run time, it seems like increasing temporary data will lead to an out-of-memory error, see here. If so, we have a heavy Kodi bug.

PS: Having a fresh thread for this issue would be nice. Especially because it's maybe a backup bug. The original issue has been solved, I think, and should be marked that way.

I'll create new thread to have it separate.I'll post link to new thread here. I was simply trying not to clutter up the forum.

I have fixed a corrupted SD card in the pass doing it this way.
This was on windows 10.
Download latest SD card formatter 5.0.1
Open command prompt with admin privileges.
Type diskpart
The type list disk
Then type select disk * (replacing * with the number of your SD card)
Then type clean
Wait a few seconds until it's finished
Type exit
Type exit again to exit command prompt.
Now safely remove you SD card.
Re insert the SD card and open SD formatter.
Select overwrite erase and let it do its thing.
It should be good now.
I spent ages trying to fix SD card file corrupt issue and this was the only method that worked.
Hope it works for you too
I also used diskpart to successfully format my SD card. In addition, using the command prompt is one of the effective ways to fix an SD card. Here are the steps:
Use a command prompt:
Connect the damaged SD card to your computer > Go to "My Computer" > Under the "Devices and Drives" section, locate the SD card and write down its drive letter > Run command prompt and type "chkdsk h:/ r", Where "h" is the letter of the drive> Check if the SD card has returned to normal after completion.
