Can you restore files back to the empeg? Does jemplode also save on hdd the database frim the emepg, so that you don't lose all the info added in the empeg day by day?

You can upload files back to the empeg the same way you do with emplode. You can not retrieve the DB or any of the settings stuff. I am pretty sure that the protocol from emptool does not allow you grab any of this content. Personally I never understood why anybody would want this type of backup tool. I can see wanting to get mp3s of the unit, but the rest of the stuff is easy enough to redo. If you didn't setup the tags right in the first place that is really your own fault.
