rekit 4 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I plan to use the same external drive with my current Emby library on it and just plug it into the NAS via usb 3.1. This is my first time using a NAS and I’m looking for the simplest way to keep everything intact and not lose all my metadata, etc. Is there anything I should know before I start, or any guides for this type of server migration?

rekit 4 Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 It worked pretty well. The only issues I had were my own fault (some of the artwork I was using for certain library items was in a different folder on my desktop rather than on the NAS drive, so I had to re-map that artwork manually. No biggie. For anyone else planning to do this, I'd definitely recommend trying to keep the folders of data that emby accesses - whether its metadata, cache, artwork, media, etc - all under one parent "emby" folder in case you need to move things around. I had some things on an SSD, some on one HDD, some on another HDD... bad planning on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
