I'll try and keep my posts shorter to fit within concentration spans
"mediaportal.xml contains a lot of your current settings" - I assume this is in the \doc & setting folder.
What settings does it not store (if any) and does this file exist for both MP and TV3? I have previously backed up the c:\program files\TeamMediaPortal & C:\Documents & Settings\..\Media Portal folders and upon installing MP again and then restoring these files I do not have my settings back.
The XML file you speek of will also not backup my scheduled recordings from the SQL database. So do I have to deploy an SQL backup util to take care of this too???
Is everyone quite contempt with re-setting up their software on every release? I am trying to incorporate the backup of MP with my current backup systems for all my other software so I need to know how it's done.
