[SOLVED] XBian menu in System, Settings not working

[A.T.E.]

I tried the xbian-config menu selection 7 (backup home). It created the zipped archive, which I copied to /xbmc-backup/put_here_to_restore in the other SD card where I had made the fresh install, but when I rebooted it failed to restore the settings.
Actually now I remember that last year, when I did an upgrade, I had tried that and it had failed as well.
What happens is that the .gz file disappears from /xbmc-backup/put_here_to_restore after the next reboot, but nothing is being copied. If you tell me where to look, I can provide the log file.

As I have two SD cards I can test things, so I made a tar archive of .kodi in the current setup, I renamed .kodi to something else in the new setup, I replaced it with the content of the tar file.
The result is that I got everything back, but the System/Settings/XBian menu failed to load, which indicates, as Rikardo1979 said, that the problem is somewhere inside the .kodi folder. And which might explain why the above mentioned restore did not work.

So I deleted it and I restored the original one. The XBian menu works now, but I have to reconfigure everything. I will possibly try to backup selected things from the .kodi folder.
