Subject:	URGENT HELP!!! Where does mythtv-setup put thebackup after a schema update?

I REALLY need some help here.. I screwed up big time! My mythtv
system is a part of my family's entertainment system and the Wife, 6yr
old and 2yr old (mostly wife) will be pretty tweaked at me if I loose
ALL of the kids recordings. *insert groveling here*

A friend of mine is playing with mythtv and he wanted to see if his
laptop frontend could connect to my new .21 backend. *Ok.. I know..
BAD visuals here. * I set him up at a desk, and walked away.

While I was away, he ran "mythtv-setup" from his machine, and thinking
that the program was updating his database, not mine, he selected yes
when it asked him to update the database schema. Now.. this would not
normally be much of an issue. However, in this case he's using a
custom-compiled from SVN setup, and mine's from the latest binaries
through YUM.

Now.. if I start mythbackend it reports that the database schema is
newer and cannot be used.

I know, from when I did it myself that mythtv-setup *says* it's doing
a backup and if it fails the old one is stored somewhere.

The question is WHERE Is it stored? and HOW do I get it back? Is it
just a full copy of the mysql/mythconverg folders? a dump file? etc.

Am I screwed here? Or can I recover from this.

Thanks,

The Jones Family
