Can you please post your /etc/default/xbian-snap file as next step.

And BTW, there must be something in kodi's log, but you have to enable debug log

You should get something like that after saving setting and running command

Terminal

grep xbian-config.*img /home/xbian/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

Code:

2019-03-19 19:47:23.532 T:1727668976   DEBUG: XBian-config : xbian-config xbiancopy imgdest nfs://kmcubie/media/system/backup/kmxbilr2/$\(hostname\)_xbian_image_$\(date\ +%F\).img : ['1']

The ['1'] is the result code, and if you get an error, a result code 0 or -1 must occur (anything else expect 1 is interpreted as and error)

xbian-snap content

Code:

# how many images should be kept (0 means unlimited)
IMGKEEP=1

HOMEDEST="/home/xbian/Downloads/$(hostname)_backup_home_$(date +%F).img.gz"

HOMEKEEP=5

The funny thing is that the system img location is now accepted as being on the /media/ location. However, when I force a backup, it gives the following error in the debug log:

This is the result of the grep command after I try to alter the home backup location:
