I have never tried to do what you have done (the only plugins that I use are the ones included with the standard MP install), but I observe that C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\ has plugins folders in both the MP folder and in the TV Server folder. Note that this is Program Files (x86), and not ProgramData.

So it looks to me as though you need to backup and restore the "Team MediaPortal" folders in both "Program Files (x86)" and "ProgramData". But this won't backup and restore settings in the registry. I don't know how much use of the registry is made by MP and TV Server, but there is at least one TV Server setting that lives in the registry (I use it), namely the one to clean-up the genre values for UK DVB-T broadcasts.

Warning: I have never tried doing what you have done, and restoring the "Team MediaPortal" folder in "Program Files (x86)" might corrupt your system, so I suggest creating a drive image of your "C:" drive before making any changes.
