How to restore Kodi?

    I have a backup of STORAGE, how do I restore it correct?

    • My backup does not include the access rights of folders. How could I restore these?
    • are there temp or cache file I could remove and not have to restore?
    • Is this the correct workflow?
      • flash SDCard of RPI4
      • boot once
      • power-off
      • restore files to STORAGE
      • boot

    If you are trying to do backup and restore from the same device, use the backup and restore functions in the LE settings add-on to backup the files in /storage/.kodi|.cache|.config and nothing more is needed. If you have other files i.e. media on /storage to be backed up then it's best to create your own .tar backup from the original device so that all the file/folder permissions are retained.
