BackupSettings












• No more manual typing of user settings after a new reinstall of TV Server, Media Portal1
and MediaPortal2
• Allows to export / import all user settings of the TV server engine and all user setting
folders
• This includes the settings of cards, LNB settings, TV channels, radio channels, tv groups,
radio groups, schedules, recordings, EPG data, general settings, recording settings and
plugin settings.
• It creates a backup / restore of the Media Portal configuration and program folders, settings,
plugins, skins, input device mappings, thumbs and the database folders
• The Tv server plugin does backup / restore your MediaPortal1 and MediaPortal2 (Client
and Server) Files
• An automated backup can be scheduled based on a time interval, where only the last exports
will be preserved
• The plugin can be used as a TV server plugin or a Media Portal client plugin for users
without TV server
Requirements:
MediaPortal/TV Server 1.0.1 -1.9
Windows XP SP3 , Vista SP2, Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 (32bit or 64 bit)
Installation for all users:
- Start the MediaPortal Extension Installer (MPEI) which can be found in your MediaPortal program directory and install BackupSettings
- In the BackupSettings Installer window push "Install" (make sure you read the manual)
- enable the plugin in the TV server configuration if you have TV server installed (default for most users) or in the MediaPortal -> Other Plugins section if you have a Client only installation
- For Users with a TV Server only Installation: The MPEI installer will unzip all files in the
%PROGRAMDATA%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Installer\BackupSettings folder. If you have a computer with a TV server only installation you can copy this folder to the TV server and install it there.
Quick Usage:
- Select a foldername for the backup directory (must not contain any other user data)
- Check TV Server if you want to backup / restore the TV server user settings
- Check Media Portal if you want to backup / restore Media Portal user settings
- Hit the "Export button" to backup your current settings. The data structure of the backup directory will be explained in the manual
- Hit the "Import" button to restore all your current settings from a previously saved backup folder
- Before you upgrade to a new MediaPortal Version make sure you did an export with the latest BackupSettings plugin version
