I have two rapberry 3 and i would like to copy (not with a full SD copying) one of them (the master) to the other.

I have made a "xbian_backup_home_xxx.img.gz" with the BAckup/home file menu (connecting to Putty).

I have got the image, and when i copy it (with movingg file from Window connected to \\Xbian) in "\\xbian\xbmc-backup\put_here_to_restore" folder nothing append (exept a ".working" at the end of file...). ON the target PI3, for example Kodi parameter are not change...

Any advice ?

Many thanks

Have you tried rsync instead of zipping / unzipping?

I've had some success mirroring between two Raspberries using lsync in real time rather than scheduling job in cron with rsync.
