    • Backs up Scheduled recordings and series recordings
    • Backs up recorded TV to local drives, or networked drives (via UNC paths)
    • Backup up an additional folder
    • Has its own schedule engine for automating backups
    • Displays the status of critical Media Center services
    • Command line and GUI version available, 10 foot version coming soon
    • Works with Vista and XP
    • Can be used to transfer settings from one Media Center PC to another

    Getting it working with Vista was a real challenge with the changes to user access security!

    You say you can use it to copy settings from one MCE to another, but will this work to backup your settings from a WinXP MCE -> a clean install of Vista's MCE?
