I have a kodi.log, too, but a question: does that contain any personal user data?
No, it does not contain your home address or your passport photo.
Also network passwords will also be removed.

30 seconds.. Perhaps you still have a dead SMB network source somewhere?

Could you give me a link to the Files of the Last Best 3D MVC Support LE ?
There is only 1 link: LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.2.6.img.gz

I would like to know all the advantages it has compared to using it under Windows.
LibreELEC itself does not run under Windows. It has its own small Linux operating system, so it's not a simple application that you can run under Windows. You will need to install Kodi itself in Windows if you want to use it that way.
Kodi vs LibreELEC... Windows is a bulky full-blown OS that requires at least 20-30 GB these days, LibreELEC only has the bare necessities to run Kodi and runs off a 512MB partition + storage of 4GB (basically a USB stick). Windows has an internet browser, LE does not (really) IMO. Apart from, you yourself will know what you use Windows for.

Try a bootable iso image from Gparted.

Removing the thread would not have informed you why it was removed.
Stating you "respect the platform" while at the same time insinuating that all of us are using video piracy add-ons will not get you any popularity votes. Apparently the short-sighted views on Kodi's reputation are like the proverbial weeds that are hard to eradicate.
You can tone the attitude, or you can find your support elsewhere.

Do a data backup of LE running off the SD card, install LE fresh onto the SSD disk, and restore the data backup to the SSD drive.

Can this be related to Kodi missing some upgrade packages
I'd say it's more related to the various banned add-on crap that has been installed on your Kodi setup. The type of add-ons that are known to possibly cause havoc on core Kodi functionality.
As per our forum rules (and Team Kodi's), all support will be halted when add-ons and/or wizards facilitating video piracy are present. You can either fully clean up your Kodi/LibreELEC setup, or you can find your support elsewhere.
The choice is yours.

Find one with more than 3 Amps if you plan to attache one or more USB devices.

Will in-place upgrades be allowed on the final release?
It's not a case of allowing it, but the LibreELEC upgrade procedure is not designed to keep a previous version in the background or wherever. The same goes for the data in /storage. Before you upgrade, keep a proper backup available (just in case).
A massive database... using the local SQLite database only: make backups first. Using a MySQL/MariaDB server: use mysqldump for backups or some other SQL tool. Also, Kodi upgrading a database will also leave the old database in place.
An alternative for backups: Kodi's video library export function. It will create .nfo files (and fanart if selected), which will make for a much faster rescraping (going 10-15 videos per second on a proper network) since internet access for metadata is not required.

Can you tell me the right image tool ?
I like to use CloneZilla, but its spartan text interface is not for everyone.
-
But it is much easier to backup the image.
You do what works for you.
but the image tool saves however the complete usb disk size
Then you're using the wrong image tool.

The File Manager needs its own file sources to be added, in your case for the USB stick and the SSD drive.
After that, it's copying from one window pane to the other, using the context menu.

like what do you mean by file protocol?
File protocols = ways to transfer files. The most common are SMB (Samba) and NFS, but there is also FTP, WebDev , and others.
SMB has been in the picture lately for having hiccups as well as the infamous SMBv1 to SMBv2 change.

In my backup case i backup the complete image of the stick. (32 GB Image)
Why don't you image the USB stick with compression? Zipping empty space will result in smaller images.
-
I cannot doublecheck things ATM, but what kind of J5005 device do you have, if not the Asrock one?

Copying files is a straight on file copy, a LE backup also involves the tar tool to compress all files into a single backup file. The thumbnails folder can grow quite a bit, and handling all small thumb files can take quite some time, but of course shouldn't fail even on a (still) slow CPU device that the RPi4 is.
The thumbnails of my Kodi clients are now centralized on a file server, approx 5.1GB, using path substitution and a system NFS mount. They are not touched by LibreELEC's backup/restore tool. It makes me a quick backup file of 58 MB. (It's a pretty clean setup, only 2 add-ons).

I have a RPi power adapter with a on/off switch in its cable. Also quite handy.
