I have never made a backup of the library. Probably dumb but it is what it is.
Here's a few more things that are happening:
- songs are "disappearing" out of media center. So in one album, track #7 is just gone. Go to the windows folder, its there. Do a media import on the folder - it does not re-import that file.
- folder art (saved as folder.jpg) is being replaced by 1k x 1k white squares.
- again info is just getting all jumbled - here's an example

Any guidance would be appreciated.
