I may have not been clear in what I was setting, I was referring to the 
local and master server IP addresses as set on the backend.  The 
defaults are as per this:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Backend#Host_Address_Backend_Setup

Anyway, I've now got it set with the static IP address of the box, given 
I intend having a separate front end at some point.  I have EPG 
populated again and some schedules set up, mythweb backend status is 
telling me I have a scheduled programme recording right now, and I am 
smiling :)

I'll be looking into sV's database backup comment when I have a chance, 
I see there is a script, and I have the wiki page open in my browser for 
reading asap...

Cheers,
