Hello,

 

recently I had to reinstall my server.

For continuity, I installed Emby on another server and copied the whole Emby-direcotry C:\Users\mediacenter\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server to the new server.

 

After that,

- changed ports

- changed display name

 

and both server where running.

Great!

 

However, I noticed when tried to connect from outside my network, I could reach both servers, but there were always issues with connecting: showing wrong displayname, connecting to wrong server etc...

 

I think that (internally) there is some ID that identifies the server, and that this has to be changed.

 

Therefore my question:

- is above supported (thus not migrating to other server, but copying config to new server and have both servers up and running, i.e. for disaster recovery procedures)

- should I change this ID somewhere

 

kind regards,

Bart

delete data/device.txt

 

i would suggest though taking a look at our backup and restore plugin as it will handle this process and more for you.
