Backup / Restore

After nearly 40 years of mostly good luck with computers, the past year has thrown me a series of very unfortunate events. My Subsonic server has moved from a Windows box to about 4 different Linux distros before I found one that I liked and that worked well on the old hardware. Each time I re-installed the OS, I lost all of my user settings. How hard would it be to create a cross-platform export and import feature for system settings? I will be migrating my server to new hardware in the near future, and it would sure be nice to have a way to quickly set up all of my user accounts with their preferences.
Thanks for listening.

The "subsonic.script" have the users info. Just move the file the the new distro

I'm looking for this feature as well. Every time I move over to a new box, I have to create new users which isn't that much of a drama, however what I do miss is losing all my favourites, starred tracks and playlists. Without a UI backup/restore system it means I don't take advantage of all these features anymore for fear I keep losing them.
Currently, I have Subsonic installed on a FreeNAS device. Is there an easy way of taking my existing settings, playlists, favourites etc and putting them in the new install?
