kricker Wrote:How would an SVN update effect userdata? No userdata content should be replaced during an update. I think you run more of a chance that disk corruption ruins your userdata contents. Also, like you said, a userdata folder can grow quite large due to the databases and cached images. If anything, it should be a select set of files backed up not everything. If someone really wants a full backup they could use other more robust backup tools for that.
I think he means that an SVN revision could have a bug that ruins your userdata in some way through XBMC (corrupts library or something), not that it would overwrite it.
