[QUOTE="Promark, post: 312982, member: 75009"] Hi there I have been using MP RC1 quite happily now for several months and was wondering on peoples thoughts on the benefits of upgrading to RC3. I would presume (hope) RC3 would have less bugs etc but is there any real world benefits? I don't use TV-Server at the moment but maybe in the future Also while I am here a question regarding backing up prior to the install, I have read this here [url=https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/UpdateingMediaPortal]UpdateingMediaPortal - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation[/url] (i will forgive the mis spelling of updating :D ) and it says about backing up the MP folder under Program Files and the application data under Documents and Settings etc, which is fine but then it only mentions restoring the application data and no mention of the Program Files backup. Can anyone that has done this enlighten me on the best method of restoring all config, database and plugins and skins. Any feedback appreciated :thx: Mark [/QUOTE]
