ghostguy 6 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I found some of it I Dl the backup plugin and pointed it to where my old backup lives. It asked it what i wanted to retsore and I selected "everything" It said complete but nothing is really restored (plugin preferences, purchased plugins, watched versus unseen etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Had you backed everything up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 How long ago? Can you show me the restore page from the plug-in instead so I can see what is actually there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostguy 6 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 sure i'll do a screen shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Click on the backup you are trying to restore and show me that page please. That shows what is actually in there and gives you the options for how to restore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostguy 6 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I did have to reenter my support key then manually install my previous plugins At this point my "watched" and next up etc isn't accurate basically the server thinks i've never watched anything in my library. As well as collections don't exist, where as before I had probably around 40-50 box sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Collections are not backed up. Are you sure your content is recognized and identified properly on the new server? Can you post the restore.log that is in the same folder with the backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostguy 6 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 sorry you lost me a little New new PC is running JUST MBS my NAS which holds my content library has not changed at all So they only thing that changed was the MBS itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I mean can you browse with the web client and all your movies look like movies and have all their metadata etc. I think it is possible that your content is not being properly recognized for some reason so that would cause watched status to not be there.

ghostguy 6 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yes all movies and tv shows have the correct metadata they did even before attempting the first back up restore. technically everything is sort of back to normal. but thats through manually downloading plugins again etc so other then the watched info i guess its ok for now.

Nora93 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 i use third party tool for backup because I had 2 of external hard drives die and lost all my data. Now onwards I am using backup and recovery software (CloudBacko Pro) for saving all of my data. I am really happy with it. It works for Windows, Mac as for Linux and provides some pretty useful features. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainey 2 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I just backup my MB data and config setting to a rar file with a bat file once a week so i always have a current copy. Rem Create a Rar file of the MediaBrowser data folder "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe" u -r -y -dh MediaBrowser.rar "E:\Temp\MB3\*.*" "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe" u -r -y -dh MediaBrowserConfig.rar "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\*.*" You still have your old server PC so you should be able to copy the files for that user "config.xml" over to the new PC. Also your collections should still be there also in the collection folder Edited January 23, 2015 by Rainey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
