Setting up MB after a clean reinstall of Windows


Recommended Posts

I have MB set up on my PC currently. I'm contemplating a clean installation of Windows but I'm wondering what special steps to take, if any, to re-set up MB? I know the extra downloaded media info (like box art, etc) will stay with my media files on my external hard drive and I'll need to reinstall the server, etc, but I want to make sure there aren't any other special steps I should take.

when I did it I copied over the server folders and then put them back to get all my settings back to where I left them.

Great idea. Would it be as simple as reinstalling MediaBrowser and then copying MediaBrowser-Server and MediaBrowser-Theater back into C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming ? Are there any other folders that I should back up as well?

Maybe there should be a "Backup" option in MBS and MBT?

Well, I copied the -Server and -Theater folders and everything works just like it did before. Awesome! A backup option would be cool, but this works too. It would be useful in an FAQ.
