are these wiz backups ??

Are these files backups of the wiz.bin ??

I'm hoping that they are so that I can use the largest/latest one.

I recently had a server crash and I'm still cleaning up. I've got a bunch of orphan recordings that I want to re-integrate into Sage...

Wiz.bak is an automatic backup dating from your last EPG update, I beleive.

When you upgrade to a new version of Sage, the installer makes a backup with the old version number appended.

I don't know what the PRECOMPRESSED_IDS one is about, but it looks like it dates from your last version upgrade.

so, i can use the most recent to replace the current wiz.bin in an effort to repair this installation?

that would entail using the 11/5/08 file and renaming it wiz.bin.

after making backup copies of course

Just for Informational purposes, those other wiz.bin files are from upgrades you've done on your Sage install (they are from the first run of the version listed on the file I believe, those files have saved my bacon a few times in the past ).

*EDIT* Looks like that was covered above, that'll teach me to post and then not hit the actually post button till after lunch, lol.

V2.2.7

I'm impressed that you haven't had to reinstall everything since that time!

Thanks to all for your help.

Used the latest one to replace my wiz.bin, et voila!

All my directories back to where they were, and I went to 6.4 while I was at it...
