I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer for me. Do you unzip the *.img.gz file before placing it in

No

Quote:put_here_to_restore or do you leave it zipped? Also, can you save the restore file (*.img.gz) to a fat32 usb drive?

Leave it as it is. Do not modifiy it. You can copy this file for backup to each place you want

Quote:The reason I ask is because today I tried restoring my home backup file 3 or 4 times, placing the *.img.gz file in the put_here_to_restore folder, and it didn't work. Once I placed the file in the folder a few seconds later Xbian totally shutdown. I turned it back on... it booted back into Kodi...but nothing had changed. Is there something I'm not doing properly?

Could you please describe what you are doing exactly?. This sounds like an issue I already solved months ago.

Perhaps you have an power supply issue. I had to change this at one of my RPi1 I used for more than two years. This operation requires a lot of (CPU-)power

Quote:BTW, I'm a LibreELEC convert. Xbian is really nimble. I'm surprised that I like it so well.

I'm running a Pi3 with a Sandisk Extreme 16 gig SD card. I'm using the latest Xbian Pi3 version.
