runtimesandbox 132 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It would be really useful to have the ability to export your library / settings / plugins / user data to a single file with the ability to import to another server. This would be really useful for rebuilding servers and not having to manually backup directories and files. I know this will only work if you keep the path to your media the same but it would be a real time saver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runtimesandbox 132 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not sure how I missed that! Thanks Does this also backup the art folders aswell or just the meta data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30528 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Take a look at it in the web interface, and if that question is not self-explanatory then @@ebr can update the plugin so that it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtimesandbox 132 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 From looking at a completed backup being 7mb i don't think it does. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 13097 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The plug-in backs up your server configuration not your library. Now, it does go a small extra step and also backup local users and the data associated with those users (meaning what they marked as favorites or likes and their watched status for items). And it backs up the definition of your library (the folders that are pointed to). It does not back up any artwork, metadata, media etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there the possibility to have this added in the future or is that out of scope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 13097 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 There are lots of straight file backup solutions available. I don't think we'll try to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
