The library contains about 90% of the data. You can back this up and there is information on how to do so in the Wiki. Key is that the NAS drive letters have to be the same on the new computer.

As for the rest of of the settings, they are stored in the Registry under HKeyCurrentUser. I'm going from memory but I believe it is HKCU\Software\JRiver. You can right click and export. On the new computer you can double click on the file to reimport it.

hI AND THANKS

I am aware of the Library backup need. I regulary do that to my NAS and I also have al the media files on the NAS.

So do you say that ALL remaining setup ifo and data are stored in the reg? Does this include IR codes?
There are several entries unde JRiver in the Reg. Under HKEY_CURENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Which are important? Does this also retain info on decoders and filters setup for videoplayback. VST plugins etc?

I will save a lot of work if I am able to restore ALL my settings

AFAIK everything is in the library backup or HKCU. It is all I've ever used. From what I can tell remote settings are there as well under Plug-Ins->Remote Control.
