You can select files via a Simple or [Advanced Editor](https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/wiki/Advanced-Editor).

Additionally each backup will dump your current UI Settings to a special saved file called ```xbmcbackup.val```. This is done through a [JSON-RPC Settings.GetSettings](https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v12#Settings.GetSettings) call done at the time the backup is run.
### Custom Directories (Legacy)
