We often back up and restore our Kodi for two main reasons: the first reason is to transfer Kodi from one device to another, and the second reason is to restore it in case of a crash or file corruption. Backup is also a good practice before any update or changes you intend to do on your Kodi. The backup process stores all the relevant Kodi files, including user add-ons and the add-ons settings, config files, database, playlists, profiles, thumbnails, fanart, and game saves. Backup can be done on demand or via a scheduler.
