[QUOTE="drealit, post: 588122, member: 70031"] Yes backing up the key folders/databases/thumbs will help in the event something goes wrong however it is not a fail safe in the event somehow your database becomes corrupted (which has happened to me when I was experimenting with a multi-seat environment). To protect against database corruption etc. I highly recommend using the new program/script that has been being worked on for a while located here: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/moving-pictures-284/app-copy-artwork-details-movie-folder-71649/[/url]. Basically it takes your current thumbs/backdrops and saves them to where your movies are located in the form of a folder.jpg (cover art) and backdrop.jpg (fanart backdrop). It also takes it a step further and can create an nfo file which will hold all your customized information you have setup for your films. If you don't have each of your movies separated into their own folder you really should and to accomplish that you can use this other program/script to do that: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/moving-pictures-284/app-create-rename-folders-based-info-moving-pictures-76187/[/url]. It's a fairly easy process and I just successfully used the backed up content to completely replace my database/thumbs with fresh backed up content. Using the XBMC formatting makes it especially easy for the importer to pull your information in. It's as simple as changing your primary import scraper to the XBMC (local) one. [/QUOTE]
