I've never used the backup feature of xbian but I want to repair this mistake.
I would use "file" as type of destination.

What is best:
- Use a usb key connected to the raspi? (what format would you recommend for it ext2? ext3? ext4? another one?)
- Use a network share on my nas? (My raspi is connected to the network through wifi).

Thanks. :-)

Where do you create your mountpoint for your backups? In the root?

No.
First step: create share in Kodis Filemanager
Second step: Use this share when configure your backup strategy inside of Kodi's XBian-GUI

Of course, you can do that

You don't have to worry about mountpounts. Only the volumes on sd-card are included in backup

Everything is working flawlessly except fstab mounting at startup
I've added this line to my fstab:

Code:

192.168.30.50:/mnt/SDB1/Backups/xbian /bkp nfs defaults,nofail,_netdev 0 2

but it never mounts at startup, i have to perform a "sudo mount -a"
I never could have this working with any combination of server/client distributions.
That's frustrating. ;-(
