Using a older backup from MC20. Will it destroy the settings I have Now?

(1/3) > >>

~OHM~:
So here is the situation. I installed MC21 the day it arrived my intention was to use it only as a movie server over dlna. (It was time to wipe the c drive and put a fresh install of 7 on anyway) Now I want to add the music but don't want to have to set MC21 up all over again with my settings for the music. can I use a backup from MC20 to restore the music library and settings or should I just restore settings and will either destroy my hard work with the dlna I set up to stream to a smart tv.

Would I be better off just telling MC21 where the music files are and setting up MC21 for music again...or re-install MC20 and use it for music only?

HELP ::)

glynor:
When restoring from a backup, you can choose to restore the Library, the Settings, or both.

Yes I read all this. So there is no way to save the settings I have now. If I can't save what I have set up now I think the best thing is to import the music again and start from scratch with music settings. The dlna stuff was mind boggling for me but I have the music stuff down.

thanks glynor for ur fast response

If you read it before then I think you didn't understand it.

Settings and the Library can be restored separately.  Files are imported into the Library.  DLNA settings are Settings.

So, you can do what you want.

No I understood it, was hoping one of you Guru's had a work around....guess not....oh well....thanks
