    How about adding ability to export/import all configuration settings on TVServer setup instead of just TV Channels?

    Database backups are bit too much for most avarage users + sometimes old databases bring trouble too. When clean install is done, user would just import it's previous TVServer settings and new database would be filled correctly by TVServer setup.

    Basically exported file should contain every setting user can make using TVServer setup-tool. Including channels, channel mapping, groups, epg setting, recording settings, directories and plugin settings at least.

    Some logic should be added so that import-function is backwards compatible when new settings are introduced to tv server. For example not yet specified entries would get discarded and notified to user which ones weren't imported in case user imports settings made with newer SVN-version.

    I agree!

    that would be very handy but not only for the TV-Server Configuration also for Mediaportal itselfs.

    I second that. It would be great both for a newbie such as myself as for the more experienced if the transition between MP versions could be helped this way.
