The process of preserving customized preferences during a LibreELEC system upgrade involves maintaining user-defined shortcuts and frequently accessed media entries. For instance, a user might have curated a collection of preferred streaming sources or specific Kodi add-ons. These settings are typically stored within the LibreELEC file system and are subject to potential alteration or deletion during a system update.
Safeguarding these configurations offers multiple advantages. It ensures a seamless transition after the upgrade, eliminating the need to reconfigure the system from scratch. This not only saves time and effort but also preserves the personalized experience that the user has cultivated. Historically, the absence of a reliable method to retain these settings led to user frustration and a reluctance to perform necessary system updates.
