Posted - 28 Jun 2013 : 20:06:26 I guess most users of XMM have got quite a collection of movies. Some are easy to get by, and some very hard or even irreplacable if lost (home-movies etc). Is it possible to include a field in the metadata of a movie which marks it for backup, and then use a button to run a backup of the selected files to a specified location? That way you only backup the movies you want and don’t need to mirror everything which costs a large amount of diskspace. I’ve been playing around with the file-manager since it has the movie-ID’s attached to the files, but that’s undoable for more than a couple of movies. Since in my case all movies are scattered across several disks on several machines it's also a lot of work to copy a subset of movies to a separate folder which then can be backed up.
Since a backup is also a part of management I hope you like the idea.

Posted - 28 Jun 2013 : 23:55:35 Maybe I'm too tired at the moment, but I don't understand if you think of the database or the movies itself. When thinking of the database it's only possible by exporting one (or more) filtered list(s). But if you mean the movies itself - in my opinion that's not the job of a database. You could only export this list to a text file and change it to a batch after adding the specific paths and copy commands.
