    If you are just going to backup a existing installation, copy the whole MP folder to where you want backup saved, easy.
    Then reinstall that version, and overwrite files to repair/replace.

    Not with clean install from RC3 to RC4.
    You have to delete the folder completely.
    This has been asked in other posts without any solution.
