apart from this you should backup the directory called "hashstore"

check "Remove temporary statement in insertion", this should solve the
duplicated items, not the language problem. the four languages gets
added when knobot found no language at all (=3D fresh install), the
autocreated languages should be removed when using "Replace
non-temporary statements"

the temporary statements are the configuration statements provided by
the modules in META-INF/rwcf of the jars, these statements are added
whenever the system boots. If such a triple is deleted it is not
re-inserted, to "undo" all manual deletions use the admin entry "Reset
manully deleted temporyry statements (the system statements will be
reset at next boot)" <http://www.osar.ch/admin/reset-manually-deleted>.

Replace non-temporary statements -> remove all existing triples but the
configuration triples provided by the modules
Remove temporary statement in insertion -> remove configuration triples
from what is uploaded, this is not needed when the backup was made from
/admin/dump.nt?non_temporary=3Dtrue otherwise needed.

well, you're site may be using the old file-server-filter in which case
this files have to be backuped as well, this is not the case if you
upload the files using webdav or http-put in which case the date is in
the model and hashstore.

this has nothing todo with KnoBot, they are just regular folders for
plain-old file-serving on osar.ch (they contain stuff from the old
website, because there are many links around to those old documents).
