You want to do backups to your NAS.

Yes

Quote from Klojum

On LibreELEC you set up a NFS mount to a folder on your NAS for one of its users.

Once the NFS mount on LE properly works, you can do backups of LE folders.

Done but i used SMB instead of NFS as there was a guide for this LE can send Data too my NAS i used the systemd as posted above.

The Default LE Backup works too this Share

i decided on using the Backup addon thats in the Kodi Repo

my main question now is

does this backup contain LE settings/docs or is this just kodi files i there a way too add LE files?

non-root

there is no option for this you can only enable SSH as root it does not ask for details or users just gives a warning if i press OK you can just login as root

Which NAS

Netgear Readynas (not exactly a small manufacturer my model is a basic but they do sell enteprise too)

on the WebUI when enable SSH get popup

"NOTE NETGEAR may deny support if you enable root ssh continue YES NO"

on there site

ReadyNAS OS 6: SSH access support and configuration guides | Answer | NETGEAR Support

So form this i have left it turned off im not an advanced user (im skilled with computers/windows & windows programs but i only started linux recently so that makes me a beginner i also don't fancy ruining my nas it houses alot of data (i do have backups but s 12TB restore would take ages)

from what i have read netgear try too make you too factory reset the device if the know SSH has been enabled they will assume i dont know what im doing and have messed it up

once factory reset they will support again

Backup addon

I have just installed it and given it a try seems too be a better solution than scripts ect

Does the backup addon backup the same files/folders as the default LibreELEC backup solution can it backup the entire system

Quote from chewitt

enable SSH

Enabling SSH on my NAS voids the warranty/support so i have never enabled it

Hi Iridium

i don't have SSH enabled on my NAS so im thinking im best going the script way

all i need too know now is how do you create a script and how does cron trigger this

Hi Chewitt thanks for the reply

I have mounted the share decided too use SMB/CIFS as there is already an example in the docs

there is still some things im unsure of

how do i permanently mount this share?

im slightly familiar with cron so should be able too do that

i would like too use rsync i use it too backup my nas but would be happy with anything that works for now im not sure on scripts either

hoping for more pointers like i said im new too linux based stuff but im enjoying learning (I took the dive into RPI and linux because of OpenHAB the smart home platform)

Hi Everyone

i'm very happy with libreelec on PI its been a great improvement over the firestick.

Theres only one thing i want too do.

How can i automate the process of backing up too a NFS share i'm happy with the feature built into libreelec i just want it too auto run every sunday too a NFS share

Pointers Appretiated

I tried mount in fstab but the filesystem is read only im pretty new too linux ect so i dont realy have man ideas myself i have also been reading the posts on here but im not undestanding them or the info i need is not there

Thanks for that

Hi Everyone

i'm not new to Kodi but i'm new too LibreELEC

I have installed LibreELEC on RPI3B+ it boots into the gui perfectly

i have also brought an August PCR450 Remote i'm experiencing problems Linked in other posts

Libre/Kodi does not respond to any button presses on the remote the only thing that is working is the AIRMouse the reveiws said this was fully functioning with libre

its the exact remote posted here quoted from the post

"however it needs 51-these-are-not-joysticks-rm.rules"

Minimal wireless remote control with 2 IR learning buttons

any suggestions on getting this working im not sure what these rules are or how you install them
