If I do a new installation and keep a copy of my backup files from mythbackup on a thumb drive. Should I be able to do a fresh install then do the backup and get my system up and working. Or are there other files not included in the backup that I would need?

Huh? KnoppMyth Auto Upgrades are like doing a fresh install as the root partition gets cleanly wiped. /myth is left untouched. If you want to see what is backed up, take a look at /myth/backup. Also take a look at the thread by tjc on using the backup and restore... BTW, if you do a "fresh install", unless you do a manual install, /myth will be wiped clean.

All of the media files in the /myth partition.
