Retain User Data (Logins/Passwords/Settings/Play Data/Etc)

[cntrle]

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade from:

4.4 (build 2169) – February 6, 2011

to

Subsonic 4.5

Without losing my user data. I have close to 50 users and it would be a real pain to lose Logins/Passwords/etc.

Let me know if there is any migration path possible.

Thanks for the help!

What platform?

Actually, that is a moot point. As long as you leave /var/subsonic or c:\subsonic or wherever your subsonic setting directory alone, everything should stay in place.

Back that directory up first if you are worried.

HTH,

I've lost my settings everytime I've upgraded... FYI.
Fortunately I have a very simple setup.

(on Windows)

I've never lost anything doing a Subsonic update on Windows, but it's easy enough to just save the C:\Subsonic directory or just rename it, then restore it after you upgrade SS.

I am also on Windows 7 and I have lost my user settings the past two upgrades.

I have backed up that C:/Subsonic folder before, but what file(s) do I want to restore?

I really would just like it if I didn't have to remember what users I had set up and their login info. I was hoping I would find some sort of config file with that data that I could copy over to the upgraded install folder.

Just copy the saved C:\Subsonic directory back to it's original loacation after the upgrade. It is puzzling though, I've never had to do this going back before version 4.0. I just do the standard Windows install and edit the Subsonic service log on permissions so it can access files on network shares and I'm done. It has always retained all my users and settings.
