Probably best to do a scheduled backup using Backup & Restore (the old Windows 7 way) to an external drive, and select your music folders. Then put the drive in a safe until next time. Then attach another drive to your PC and do File History backups.

Thanks for the quick reply Timster....the media is backed up fairly regularly. I'm talking about the data MinimServer creates after it has scanned your entire library (tags, audioquality, folderpaths, album covers etc. etc.). Perhaps "catalogue" would be a better description?

Ahh, that stuff. database would be a better word. I presume it will all be backed up with your regular backup, but there probably isn't much use in backing it up anyway. All it takes is a restart of minim to rebuild it - assuming the configuration is as it was.
So yes, it would be useful to be able to export the configuration for backup purposes. But it is accessible for you (not so lucky here on a NAS).
