XBMC Backup XBMC Backup
DISCLAIMER: It has been well documented in the XBMC forum that not using a separate, backups only, directory can result in other non-backup files being deleted when the backup rotation clean operation runs. This is a known bug, and for now the only fix is to not mix your backup data in the same folder as other files. Once this is fixed it will cease to be a problem. Keep this in mind when setting your backup destination - you have been warned. WHEN UPDATING TO 0.3.6 OR ABOVE - To fix the very real problem of deleting non xbmc backup files during the backup rotation a simple check for an xbmcbackup.val file is done on each directory to ensure it was created by this addon. To make your old archives compatible with this feature simply create an empty xbmcbackup.val file and put it in each backup archive folder. The easiest way is to create a backup with the new addon and copy the xbmcbackup.val file to your other directories.
