Hi all,
I tried to go throu all topics but nothing relevant to what I exactly need.
I'd like to upgrade to beta 2 as a fresh install.
I'd like to know if i can save the folders that contain addons and settings that I can paste directly after the fresh installation to retrieve all my settings and addons configurations.

in general yes, this is possible. there are few ways:
1. there is XBMC-BACKUP addon for XBMC
2. you can save /home/xbian/.xbmc/ content and copy it back after installing fresh img.
after you put .xbmc folder back, reinstall xbian-package-config-xbmc as depending on version/distro of your current setup with these steps you would remove some important components - but this is not issue if you just reinstall the package after.
Code:
sudo -i
apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-config-xbmc
Wonderful, I was not sure about the usr share and other folders.
Perfect and thank you
I just installed the new beta2 using the .img, worked very well and i restarted my raspberry with the wizard, all good.
Then I plugged my SD card on my Ubuntu but it can mount only one partition.
Here is the dmesg:

you would need matching kernel for BTRFS reads.
XBian is 3.12 so any kernel you install to Ubuntu in the versioning of 3.12.x should be ok.
My kernel is 3.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
I stopped xbmc service to prevent any read files and scp worked perfectly.
Thanks for your help

I was running 12.04 LTS until 3 weeks ago (recently upgraded to 13.10) but specially for XBian cards reading I'm running Ubuntu's 3.11.10.42 (it's code-named Saucy) and BTRFS is compatible there already.
So grab it.
