first post here (although long time user and big fan of your work)

as the title says I'm planning to replace my ubuntu 22.04 OS running mainly kodi with LE-x64 for a more KIS approach on an intel NUC5i5RYB.

Ideally I would like to do it with as little effort as possible - backup all the addons and maybe some configs(?) - install LE - restore backup and configure only what I can't backup.

tbh I was lazy enough to ask chatgpt about it and came up with the following - is it enough ?

```Using the Built-in Backup Addon (Recommended):

• Open Kodi on Ubuntu.
• Go to Add-ons > Install from repository > Kodi Add-on repository > Program Add-ons.
• Install the “Backup” addon.
• Run the Backup addon and configure the remote path for backup files (e.g., a network share or external storage).

1. Manual Backup Using restic:

   • Install restic (download the binary from the official GitHub release).
   • Set the remote repository for saving snapshots (e.g., on a server or NAS).

   • Initialize the repository:

     Code

     /storage/restic -r sftp:[email protected]:/media/backup-kodi init

   • To create a backup:

     Code

     /storage/restic -r sftp:[email protected]:/media/backup-kodi backup /storage/.kodi

   • To restore a backup:

     Code

     /storage/restic -r sftp:[email protected]:/media/backup-kodi restore -t / e3440663

   (Replace “e3440663” with the actual backup snapshot ID.)

thank you very much !
