Subject: [mythtv-users] partial restore of database from backup


Like many I do daily backup of my mythtv database. However, I've only
used that backup when building a new setup of hardware that will
hopefully be doing the same function as the old one, once the database
is restored and the recordings copied to the right directories.

What I'm doing now is different and not sure if the saved database can
help.  I'm build an additional mythtv backend that will be used to
record some of the same programs but it started with a clean database.
Both backends are set to record for example "NCIS". My main backend has
been recording those since the beginning of the series so when a rerun
comes on it will not record it again because it once recorded it long
ago, even though it's been watch and deleted.

The new backend will recorded it because it has no history.  Some of the
reruns are not tagged as such and using that record flag doesn't solve
the problem.

So my question is, can I export the record history of a program or all
programs from one backend to another so the new backend will not waste
time recording something that's already be seen?

Any particular reason for choosing two master backends instead of making the second a slave of the first?
