Backup/restore script improvement

    I believe this feature request is very easy to implement and from my point it makes sense - so the question is - could you please to do it?

    As described here:

    RE: Basic backup/restore question

    I have made an extended backup script which also stores the /flash/config.txt file.

    The standard Restore Backup from Kodi's GUI menu Settings-LibreELEC-System-Backup works but the /flash/config.txt file is not restored as the /flash folder is mounted as r/o by default.

    I believe it would be useful when the restore part of the official backup-restore script could contain the mount -o remount,rw /flash command before tar command (between lines 33 and 34).

    The current backup procedure does not save any file from the /flash folder but at least the config.txt is very important and may be customized.

    That's my case. I also need to backup some personal folders. That's why I created a customized backup script, compatible with the LE's default restore script. Except the files in the /flash folder because it is write protected (mounted as R/O) by default.

    The feature request is (at least) to remount the /flash folder as R/W during the restore. Or perhaps even update the backup part to backup the /flash/config.txt automatically. I believe some other users would appreciate that.

    Thanks a lot in advance.
