Backup_folder content after deinstalling MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[Pilgrimon]

Hey Hey Hey

I updated my MP 1.0 RC 1 to 1.1.1., but..as expected the instalation exited with an error. So i deinstalled the MP and reinstalled it again.

Now i fouind out that all my configuration files (??) were stored in backup-folders (MediaPortal_BACKUP_10-02_0-17 and MediaPortal TV Server_BACKUP_10-02_0-17 [in "Programm Data folder" and inside the MP installation folder]).
Now nearly all my configurations are resetted to the default due to the installation.. My questions are:

* Is it possible to just replace the files with these MP backuped when i deinstalled the old version?
* MP changed the Videocodecs to default again. As i had many troubles with artefacts before i found out the codec best to use i want to restore these settins, too. Is that possible? Where are these settings stored??

And for the future..
* Is thre a possibility to save all the configs to a file..aka... export them?
* What about the ferver configs that are stored inside a MySQL Database.
** Can i backup the data inside that database?
** How?


Thx 4 your help!

Hi Pilgrimon, the server configuration utility has an 'import/export' option, the client not but have a look at this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/.../backupsettings-tv-server-media-portal-45715/

I know that in your case coming from a RC this doesn't apply so just for future use...
