Which directories should we move?

When moving Channels DVR to another computer on the same network, which directories are required to be moved? Or maybe, which directories could be omitted and what are the ramifications of not moving those directories? The "Streaming" directory seems to have a lot of misc files that wouldn't have to be moved.

Move the whole data directory like it says.

The Streaming directory contains the video indexes for each of your recordings. If you don't move that it will have to be generated again when you go to watch a recording.

If you use comskip, the Logs\comskip folder contains symbolic links to all your recordings (video.mpg).
Depending on how you do the moving, it may try to move those links, you don't need them moved.

Move the whole directory as described.

That is what I did. Thank you.

Moving Channels DVR to another machine is fairly painless. Very nice, thank you.
