Hi,

Lost the OS disk on my back-end in the week.  Fortunately, recordings, 
videos and crucially, a database backup from the weekend are all intact 
on a separate disk.  This was all running on Xubuntu 18.04 with Mythv 
0.29/fixes and a Hauppauge WinTV-QuadHD-DVB.

Replacement root disk arrived and I have rebuilt the OS.  Am I right in 
thinking that I just follow these steps (without going into myth-setup):-

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/29
sudo apt install mythtv
sudo adduser $USER mythtv
mkdir -p $HOME/.mythtv
ln -s -f /etc/mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml
sudo reboot

then stop the backend, import the database  backup using 
mythconverge_restore.pl, restart the backend and I should be good to go?

Thanks
