I recently had to roll back my database to a previous backup copy due to a problem caused when updating the channel configuration.
I intended to use the current recordings-backup.xml and recurring-backup.xml files to bring the restored database up to date.
Importing the recordings-backup.xml file restored just the missing recordings into the database. Any recordings which already existed in the database were ignored.
Importing the recurring_backup.xml file added all its entries even if they already existed. This led to duplicate entries in the recurring recording database followed by duplicate recordings being scheduled.
It would be nice if importing from recurring-backup.xml only added entries if they didn't already exist (behaviour similar to when importing recordings).
