What's in wiz.bin?

I'm setting up a new PC, and will probably have several (simple) questions

I've looked but could not find Specifically what things the wiz.bin contains. from what I have found it contains:
1. Database of recorded shows
2. Favorites
3. Watched
4. Don't Like

My concern is the post I found trailed off with "favorites settings, etc." I don't care to bring any settings of any kind from my old sage setup. (animation settings, channel lineups, menu options, etc) - in short the only thing I *really* care about is the four items I know it contains. it's the etc part that's got me wondering!

So is all of that other kind of stuff in sage.properties?

Sorry if this is a dunder-headed question but I want to start with the cleanest slate I can on this new install. and plan on documenting any changes I make to it ... ya know so when I screw something up and someone asks did you change X I can look at my notes and answer!

Client-specific UI settings (animations, menu options, and the like; I'm not going to provide an exhaustive list) are stored in the .properties file for that client.

Tuner configuration, channels lineups, and other global configuration settings are stored in Sage.properties on the server.

EPG data is stored in Wiz.bin (along with the other stuff you mentioned).

If you're in doubt about some particular setting, make a snapshot of your property files, change that setting, quit Sage, and do a file compare to see what changed.

Thanks! - I'm going to start up the new server then ... Spent the night moving the videos over, set my properties file up per the faq. And then... Well I think next is going to be adding all my tuners back in. Then all the plug-ins.
