BackupSettings for Tv Server and Media Portal (2 Viewers)

[rsbrux]

Even after I went back and clicked the "All" buttons on both the "TV Server" and the "MediaPortal1" tabs, BackupSettings 1.2.2.6 warned that "You are not using the default settings ... only partial data will be exported." Other than that it seems to work well - many thanks!

Huha,
thx for help, it standard version of MP and special tv server made by mm which include fix for tbs tv cards with cam support.

lukjod, Backupsettings is not supporting any selfbuild versions.You need to use Mp1.3alfa or Mp1.2.
rsbrux, thanks for the info. I tried to fix the wrong partial data warning but may need another iteration.

Feature request for "automated backup" : Dedicated/separte Filepath for automated backup files!

I often messed up my backup files, because I did forget to change the filepath after a manual backup.

Also I have the feeling automated Backup Options are Lost after manual Backup or aren't included in Backup Data?!

 

[huha]

I will include a separate path in the next version and check the backup option.

Hi huha,
Happy New Year!
I upgraded to MP 1.3.0 beta for testing purposes a week ago and made a backup using BackupSettings 1.2.2.6 beforehand so as to be able to return to my previous 1.2.3 installation. When I tried to do so today, however, BackupSettings failed to correctly restore my Skins directory, despite several attempts, and gave no indication that anything was wrong. The attached logfiles should cover the last two attempts (with verbose logging turned on). The attached screenshot shows part of a TotalCommander comparison of the backed up and current DefaultWide skin folders after the failed restore. Things seem to be as I want them, now that I have replaced the Skin directory contents manually with the backed up contents. As you can see, my ProgramData folder is on my D: drive, but that shouldn't make any difference, as

1. BackupSettings recognizes the correct path
2. There is a symbolic link in the usual place on C: pointing to the directory on D:

Please let me know if there is anything else I can contribute to the troubleshooting effort.

rsbrux, i would need the file D:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\BackupSettings\status.txt
after you have done the import with verbose turned on.
This should show where the skins have been imported to.

Der_Bub, please try the attached test version:
Version 1.2.2.7
• added separate foldername for Automated Export
• bug fix on automated export option after an import
