Video card in my old XP/MP 1.3 machine died, so I built a Win7/MP 1.17 viewer and a dedicated Win7/MP 1.17 server. I have a bunch of recorded programs that I haven't had time to watch on my old machine. Files on that machine are in the default MediaPortal directories on its 2 TB hard drive. While Mediaportal TVServer 1.17 is installed on the SSD boot drive (C:) on the new server, programs and music files will be on the 3TB drive on the new machine (drive F:). I have hunted for info on moving or importing recorded programs from one machine to another, and neither the Wiki nor this forum seem to have either a documented procedure or instructions on using the backup extension to move these files and make sure they are listed in the recorded programs database. So please, not just to help me, but to assist anyone else who is trying to recover old unwatched programs, can someone please post the procedure? I would be so grateful. I still have some Masterpiece Mystery progams I want to binge watch!

Thanks! I read that part, got to that screen and didn't notice until now there was a "change channel" option, which I needed to use because the tuner scan on the new server gave new names to the channels! Once I did that, they were all imported. Binge watching this weekend!
