Usage:
In the addon settings you can define a remote path for the destination of your xbmc files. Each backup will create a folder named in a month, day, year format so you can create multiple backups. You can keep a set number of backups by setting the integer value of the Backups to Keep setting greater than 0.

On the Backup Selection page you can select which items from your user profile folder will be sent to the backup location. By default all are turned on except the Addon Data directory.

You can also schedule backups to be completed on a set interval via the scheduling area. When it is time for the backup to run it will be executed in the background.
Using Dropbox:
Using Dropbox as a storage target adds a few steps the first time you wish to run a backup. XBMC Backup needs to have permission to access your Dropbox account. When you see the prompt regarding the Dropbox URL Authorization DO NOT click OK. Check your XBMC log file for a line from "script.xbmcbackup" containing the authorization URL. Cut/paste this into a browser and click Allow. Once this is done you can click "OK" in XBMC and proceed as normal. XBMC Backup will cache the authorization code so you only have to do this once, or if you revoke the Dropbox permissions.
What this Addon Will Not Do:
This is not meant as an XBMC file sync solution. If you have multiple frontends you want to keep in sync this addon may work in a "poor man's" sort of way but it is not intended for that.
