Settings would be easy. But the plugins? I always say "don't mess with the LMS managed plugins", because it can be a mess. Backup might work, but restore not. Might help in cases where a plugin disappears from the
net. But in general it's not a good idea. I was not thinkng of backing up the actual plugin, but rather something using a list of installed plaugins so that the freshly installed LMS knows what plugins it would would need to install in order to be restored to its previous state. What ever works best. mherger wrote: > [color=blue]The restore part will require some more work (to make it > automatic): LMS > keeps the prefs in memory and writes them out to the config files before > > shut down.
