Cant copy Backup file to XBMC-Backup
I have created a home backup of xbian through xbian-config and moved it to my removable usb stick for when i need it, but when i try to copy it back into root/xbmc-backup through the file manager it will not copy across? Is the root directory read only? how can i copy it across to restore??

Thanks

Scott

You need to put it in the directory "Put_here_to_restore" then the restore will happen automatically.

RE: Cant copy Backup file to XBMC-Backup
The problem is that I can't copy the backup I have on a usb flash drive to the restore folder. It just says one or more files could not be copied?

RE: Cant copy Backup file to XBMC-Backup
Well that's completely different to your first post.

1) Verify the backup file with gzip or winrar.
2) Post the output of the command an the error message

@YippeeKaiay

correct dir for uploading is /xbmc-backup/put_here_to_restore . also, "restore-home" service needs to be started
Code:
sudo start restore-home

/xbmc-backup/put_here_to_restore will appear and should be writable for everyone
