Database backup

I would like to see an option to back up the database. I know you can already do this by copying the ejukebox.ini, ejuke.asn and db.m3u but it would be good if you could control option from within the ejukebox. For example you could choose the option to back up the database and then it’s as simple as choosing the destination folder you want the files to be saved to.
Also, after installing numerous updates I like to do a complete reinstall of the ejukebox. It would be good when doing a fresh install of the ejukebox, we had the option of scanning a folder of previously backed up database files, instead of just having to scan a folder for mp3s and videos every time. It would make the whole process so much quicker. Another advantage is that it solves a problem I was having with the music videos. If you read my previous posts you’d know I was having a problem with the ejukebox not displaying the music video dates in brackets. I can, however, do this by retagging each individual music video. Something I don’t mind doing once but I didn’t want to do it every time I did a fresh install. So basically with the option of installing a previously backed-up database this problem is solved.
