[mythtv-users] Switching between backends?

[Eni Gma]

Yeah, but updates what?  It it OK to switch the master backend to a 
different server then switch it back?  I seem to remember there are 
several tables that are keyed on server name, I fear that it may cause 
problems in those tables if I keep switching which backend is the 
master.  For now I guess I'll just keep the master I have and record 
anything I want to watch on the slave backend.

Thanks for the reply.
