Hi All,
I've been using MythTV for a couple of months now (release 0.8) and modulo
a few minor problems which, from following the discussions, I understand
have been addressed in the CVS, it has been nice and stable. I have a
single dedicated box that runs both backend and frontend.
Given that I now have some 100 GB of recorded video, much of which I've
archived by hand to CDR, I'm beginning to be concerned with the
recoverability of the database and other critical Myth files should
something fail -- either in hardware or due to some software-driven
corruption. Therefore, I'd like to archive the Myth files as well, so am
writing a small script to tar them up and burn to CD in a semi-automatic way.
From my limited understanding, I'll need to save the following directories
and files:
/usr/src/local/mthtv-0.8 (where I've put the Myth source)
/usr/local/lib/mythtv/
/usr/local/include/mythtv/
/usr/local/bin/myth*
/usr/local/share/mythtv/
/usr/local/src/mythtv-0.8/
~/.mythtv/
/etc/X11/XF86config
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf (or perhaps just /usr/share/alsa/)
What else? Where are the program database files kept? Are there v4l
configuration files? What have I forgotten?
- pz.
