Hi, I have been running MythTV for a number of years now. After moving 
to a country that has really bad TV boradcast 3 years ago we stopped 
using the recording features and now mainly use the video features of 
MythTV to watch our content, however we still have a number of recorded 
TV programs in the database (mainly kids stuff).

I have been plagued by an issue with mythweb for a while now too, 
particularly the error !!NoTrans: SQL Error: Unknown column 
'recordedmarkup.data' in 'field list' [#1054]!  when going into the 
recorded programs.
I saw a post here years ago on how to fix it here:

This involves doing a partial restore which I should have no problems doing.

My question however i what will be lost in a partial restore? In 
particular my biggest concern is the MythVideo metadata that has been 
accumulated over the years (TV/Movie synopsis, banner art etc).  Would I 
loose this??

Thanks in advance

Anthony
