WMC settings and Windows Easy Transfer

[RichInCinci]

Does anyone know if Windows Easy Transfer transfers settings from WMC, eg Recording Lists, guide data..., to the new target machine? I'm moving my installation to a new disk and was wondering the easiest way to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Richard

I can't vouch for this (I'm sure others will chime in) but you can try a tool like MC Backup:

I use mcBackup and it works like a charm! However, I have had it corrupt a recording schedule once on backup which led to it restoring nothing. But as said, this was just once out of the numerous times I've used it.

Edit: I've never used Easy Transfer as I always do a full wipe and install.

Thanks for the information! I suspected that it would include WMC, but I like to know before I go... so to speak.

I suspected that it would include WMC,

I'm pretty sure that Stak's "it" was referring to MCBackup, not Easy Transfer.

Correct, and edited in

Personally I just take a copy of some of the db files, and then re-import them after setting up tuners etc.
