TimB -- MC 11 Backups
« on: July 14, 2004, 08:43:53 am »

From TimB:

In doing manual backups if I backup the contents of C:\Documents and Settings\Tim\Application Data\J River\Media Center 11 will I get all my MC11 database items including my cover art?

Only backup *.jmd files in the library folder.  Other stuff gets rebuilt.

Cover Art will be wherever you tell MC in Options > File Location.

Thanks Tim.

Under Options/File Location under "Track Images Location" I show C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\Data\Cover Art\ but there's no Cover Art folder in my C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\Data\.

Could

Then that's where new art would go.

If you have a different folder, just tell MC 11 to use it instead.

How about old art?  I'm getting thumbnails, is it going to my old MC10 folder for it?

Sorry to be a pest but I'm off for 10 days starting on Saturday and I'd really like to get my automatic backup system doing its thang before then.  :)

Did you try using Windows search and looking for cover art folders?

Old art could also be stored in the music files or in the album folders.

Yup, no joy.

How could I discover which is the case?

Correction: I do have a Cover Art directory in my Media Center 10 directory.  Is this what 11 is looking at?
