If I understand you correctly you have: - A working backup two weeks old with 9000 rated tracks - A working backup recent backup with 5000 rated tracks If you restore the 5000 ratings backup file it should restore all those 5000 but leave the rest as they are. There will be no check against time stamp for those 5000, so they will be overwritten with the information in the backup file. The extra 4000 ratings you currently have in the database should remain as they are. The restore operation doesn't empty the database, it just updates the ratings listen in the file. The only way to get a timestamp check is to go through the iTunes integration. But I'm not sure you want to mess with that, because I really don't know how iTunes is going to react in all these situations. So if you just miss the last 2 weeks of play/rating history I would leave it as it is unless the above mentioned restore of the 5000 is a working solution. By the way, do you have any idea why you lost ratings in the upgrade ? Is there something I could do on my side to avoid that others get the same problem ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39026 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
