Kudos for your donation "ag3141" I know it's much appreciated by all.

Re: your question about back-ups... XBMC keeps all the thumbnails and fanart within the userdata directory along with user settings. The images scattered over your harddrive are ignored unless you're scraping locally. The Plugin 'XBMC backup' should be in the central repository and automatically does the copying for you, but I've had no issue just copying it by hand to a safe place. The user directory location varies depending on the O/S you're running so check this wiki for the location on your system http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata_folder Once you have this back-up in a safe place, a complete re-install and throwing your userdata folder back in will bring you back to the time of the back-up.

Welcome to the forums, I'll be sure to give your posts extra attention.

Her's a few links some find useful.
