The last time I did this it was to take all the content off my production v34 backend and put it on my RV v34 backend so I could have stuff I had not seen and deleted to take with me on the road. So the password was different and the backend hostname was different. There are commands to change the database for both, but I had to play with the config.xml files for /etc/mythtv, /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml, and /home/jim/.mythtv/config.xml.</div><div><br></div><div>Once you have it all working, you can run find_orphans.py.
