I am going to completely reload my system THIS WEEKEND.
I have Sage TV and the valid serial # burned to a CDR

HOW DO I SAVE MY PROGRAM GUIDE data and configuration?

What directory or file can I back up??? I understand that I will have to reinstall the Hauppauge drivers

Thank you for prompt reply

back up the .ini file - and (I believe) the wiz.bin file..

There are numerous posts about this in the archives that can probably give a better answer.

Eazy copy from the SageTV folder Wiz.bin, Wiz.bak and Sage.properties files after you have reinstall ever be sage is not runing the copy ever back restart sage

Make sure your drive letters match up as well - or remember to update the properties file BEFORE you launch Sage for the first time.

Dont forget the station logos if you have them.

[WirelessDJ]

They would be in your ChannelLogos directory.

Make sure you use the same machine name as well on your new image.

I plan to reinstall sage tv from scratch, configure the HW. do I have to keep the same machine name just to keep the program guide data?

[mikbro]

yes, the name of your machine is stored in the wiz.bin file. This file contains your EPG data as well as the shows you have recorded and their location.
