[QUOTE="HomeY, post: 1102304, member: 68365"] Yes, the first is automatic (after setup) and the second is a manual action. The first is the easiest ;) It's a plugin were you set what you want to backup, and it does it for you. The 2nd is what that plugin probably does, and good to know in case you lose your settings, for example. You settings are stored in the MediaPortal.xml file in your Program Data folder: [FONT=Courier New]C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal[/FONT] If you backup that entire folder to another PC, you'll have a backup of the entire MP setup (assuming they run the same MP version and have the same plugins installed). This includes your databases, fanart, skins, mods, etc. You can re-install the plugins easily, and after that you put back the appropriate .xml file and the settings are back :) [/QUOTE]
