westhill 5 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 TLDR: Do I upgrade Emby in-place on the old NAS (DS920+) or build a new setup on the new NAS (DS423+)? My old NAS is the DS920+ listed below and I just purchased a new DS423+. I am wondering if starting fresh may be a better approach than trying to do in-place upgrades on the old NAS to get to a newer version of Emby followed by updating DSM from 6.2 to 7.2 Old NAS DS920+ / DSM 6.2.x / package based Emby 4.6.7.0 installed on volume 1 (HDD) - 20GB RAM -- volume 1 HDD has media and Emby installed -- volume 2 is a pair of SSD that I run docker on for Aars, etc... New NAS DS423+ / DSM 7.2 u3 /package based Emby 4.7.14.0 installed on volume 2 (SSD) -6GB RAM -- volume 1 HDD has media from the old NAS -- volume 2 is a pair of M2 SSD that I run docker on and pretty sure I installed Emby here Is there an easy way to migrate watched status between Emby 4.6.7.0 and 4.7.14.0? I am running the backup/restore plugin on both server instances, is it safe the restore a 4.6 backup to a 4.7 server? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hi, you should be fine doing the normal upgrade, but which NAS do you want to run the server on? That's what I would decide based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhill 5 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Thanks Luke. Emby was running fine on the old NAS, the new NAS is to test getting everything up and running with minimal disruption to the old setup. I think I will setup the new NAS and consider cutting over to that and then tinker with the old setup. Is there an easy way to migrate watched status between Emby 4.6.7.0 and 4.7.14.0? I am running the backup/restore plugin on both server instances, is it safe the restore a 4.6 backup to a 4.7 server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Quote I am running the backup/restore plugin on both server instances, is it safe the restore a 4.6 backup to a 4.7 server? In theory, but it might be better to update the 4.6 install to 4.7 first, so that both machines are on the same version. I think the more you can reduce the number of variables between the two, the better the transition will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
