[mythtv-users] Database backup in Mandrake 9.1

[Mark Levaillant]

I have been playing with the mixer and I can not seem to get it to work properly.  Either I get all the sound or nothing.
The documentation did not tell me where the database is.  Just how to back it up.  I need to know where it is so that I can move it to a safe location as I am going to format the 
drives.  

it should be easy to fix the sound problem, just go into the sound 
mixer, and make sure you've muted the line in. However, if you want to 
backup the database, instructions are at
