Backing up my library to move over from Alpha 4 to RC?

Help and Support

Hey guys;

Forgive me if this is painfully obvious, but I’m still fairly new to the Pi. I’ve scraped all my movies and TV shows (some 1tb+ accessed via wifi/SMB and a USB 3 drive on my Windows 7 machine) and really don’t want to sit through another 8 hours of file scraping if I move over to the RC.

The question is, can I back up the library information (all the scraped info that is) and copy it over to the RC?

Yes, just copy over home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/Databases and userdata/sources.xml (and passwords.xml if it exists) from old to new. If you choose you can copy over the whole userdata folder structure but you’re better off just copying Databases structure and setting up everything else fresh
