Migrate with complete disk move?

Hi,

I'm moving to new hardware. My Emby is installed to a separate disk, which is also going to be moved to the new hardware. If I assign the same drive letters so nothing changes, and set permissions correctly, will Emby just run on the new hardware? In a sense, I'm asking how portable the installation is. Or will I still need to do an install over the installation on that disk (backing up/moving data files as described in the KB article)?

Media assets and metadata are stored nfo with media, so I could still use the backup/restore process if that's still preferred. 

Thanks!

If drive letters and library paths are not changing, then it shouldn't be an issue.  I have don't this on Windows a couple times.

Great, thanks! I'll take the backup just in case something goes horribly awry when I try it.
