If I were looking into this (which I am not), I'd look into doing an "rsync" to sync the recording directory, then doing a mysqldump and restore of the tables related to recordings...essentially cloning the master system. I'd not set them up to know about one another, rather try to clone the master in a way that doesn't mess things up.
<br><br>I reality it's a bit more complicated that that, but that may provide some ideas for you to run with.<br><br>-Pete<br><a href="http://www.mythpvr.com">http://www.mythpvr.com</a><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Its gonna be a Mini-ITX box attached to an LCD monitor. The plan is to make it portable so that we can easly take it on vacations or down to the clubhouse to play recorded shows and DVDs for the kids' sleepovers. I will need to write some scripts that copy designated vids to the slave, detach it from the network, bring a local DB on line, register the tranferred vids and do anything else that promotes it to master status. I don't see any HOWTOs or many posts refering to the idea of decoupling. But before I got started, I wanted to ask if its already been done.

I don't believe anyone has actually implemented this, but I think MythArchive will give you a good headstart on picking programs and putting them into a format that you could then restore from the MythArchive menu. I would think you'd just need to switch the db on change your backend IP to the local machine (or edit a host entry to fake it into thinking the local machine is the IP address that used to be your real backend - this might be easier), and initiation the MythArchive restore.
