cjb 0 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) In the process of updating my Emby server hardware. Changing from an old PC to a Newer model. Dont want to, loose all the info I currently have configured in Emby. Is there some documentation as to what folder/files need to be moved to allow for a server transfer from one machine to the new machine? Thanks Edited October 25, 2016 by cjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTabman 4 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) I recently completely re-installed Windows 7 to a SSD (previously an old hdd) and, after Windows was running, I just copied the whole emby.windows directory to the SSD. With around 20k TV episodes and films the size is just around 3GB. Of course, I made sure that my media files are all accessible under the same path as in the previous windows installation. Worked flawlessly for me. Edited October 25, 2016 by TheTabman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Do you/have you been using the server backup plugin? That is the first step. I personally had mixed reviews in actually utilizing it, but keys are going to be to keep folder/drive structure similar. I am not aware of any documentation of what needs to be moved, but your keys are going to be your metadata folder, the server configuration backup, for almost a complete backup, the user/appdata/roaming/emby-server folder has almost everything. The cache folder I wouldn't take/copy, as that can all be created on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
