Backing up Subsonic

I'd like to backup my subsonic information in the case of a system crash. Can any smarter than me people take a look and tell me if this is sufficient, or do I need something else.
Thanks!

Batch file that runs nightly:
"C:\Program Files\Subsonic\subsonic-service.exe" -stop

xcopy c:\subsonic\subsonic10.index x:\subsonicbackup /Y /d
xcopy c:\subsonic\db\*.* x:\subsonicbackup\db /y /d
xcopy c:\subsonic\playlists\*.* x:\subsonicbackup\playlists /y /d


"C:\Program Files\Subsonic\subsonic-service.exe" -start

Why not backup the entire c:\subsonic directory? If you don't want to do that then I would add the c:\subsonic\thumbs folder to your backup. Other than that everything looks good.

You are right. Whole folder/subfolder is the way to go. Thanks.

No, thank you! Because of your question I added the subsonic folder to my backups. :lol:

Not sure about your situation, but I'm using the batch file so I can stop and start the subsonic service. Some backups have issues with backing up open files.

PS: You're welcome!
