Hi all
A newbie question - if I want to keep the list of my recordings made with 1.0.6 and have them show up in 1.1.5 what file do I need to back up before installing the new version of GBPVR?
Many thanks in advance

Thanks very much - I'll get started on installing the new version now. I suppose that when it's installed I just copy and paste the two files back into the appropriate directories?
Cheers

you shouldnt need to its just incase something goes wrong
i have only had it happen once and i dont think it was gbpvr's fault (lost count of how many versions/upgrades that would be)

You should never copy the database or config files back to a new version.
The backup is only for if something goes wrong and you have to reinstall the previous version and you can then copy them back. Structures and content may be updated with new versions, but data should be kept (I've not had a problem yet updating and keeping all data and configs.
