MP upgrade/reinstall, how to save all configs? (1 Viewer)

[dimitri]

I have RC2 with CVS updates. Over time I made about a million changes in Configuration to get my setup working properly. If I need to reinstall or upgrade to RC3 and to final release when it comes out I'd like to backup all my custom configs and restore into new version.

I uderstand that configs are stored in various XML files and media data is in database files. Question is, can I just backup / restore entire config by replacing files? Is there a list of all files which could possibly store user config settings? Anyone done this successfully? Any issues after?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

if you want to keep settings, just uninstall the old version. The "Team Media Portal" folder will be kept, holding all databases and xml configurations. If you now install the new version, only changed files will be overwritten. You have to run Configure after install, do not directly run MP!

Attention:
This will work in most cases. But it is always recommended to make a clean uninstall / install. Meaning to delete the "Team Media Portal" folder after uninstall and before new install. There might be bugs resulting because of the usage of old settings!

HTH, Flip
