| Post subject: | Moving Database to New Computer |
I just built a new mythbox and I wanted to transfer my database (I don't care about the recordings). So I did the backup function, copied the /myth/backup directory to /myth/backup on the new system and did restore on the new system. All my recordings are listed (obviously they won't work because I didnt' copy the files) - BUT when I go to my upcoming recordings list and previously recorded list, nothing is there. Did I miss a step? Thanks! |

Yes. You need to copy the actual content files. It's easiest just to copy the whole /myth tree over. Be sure to do it in such a way as to preserve the correct ownerships and permissions. Something like rsync for remote access or cp -a for local mounts should do the trick. See the man pages for more. |

Thanks for the help, I used Code: rsync -avz 192.168.2.42:/myth/ /myth
Where 192.168.2.42 is the IP of my old myth machine and I executed the command as root on the new mythbox. Everything worked like a charm. I did have to go in and delete my capture cards and re-add them to get my upcoming recordings to work. |

Make sure you didn't end up with /myth/myth on the target... To copy /myth onto my backup drive I use: Code: /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete /myth /backup
Which produces /backup/myth Ah... I see, you used the trailing slash variation... Never mind... |
