ahbi_santini 7 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) So, I followed the instructions to move the Emby/data/ folder to a faster USB drive, as detailed in the Performance Improvements post (and my post on Emby and Synology). .... And, that is generally a vast improvement. But .... the Server Configuration Backup plug-in no longer works. It doesn't copy the \users\<name>\files (config.xml, policy.xml, and sec.txt). Everything else copies properly (well, I assume, they seem to). I have tried to chown and chgrp to the same settings as the old (pre-USB move) files, but that hasn't worked. I am not sure if it just refuses to follow the symlink or if there is something special that is wrong. As I found Config Backup highly useful before (thank you) it would be disappointing if I can't get it to work now. Suggestions? Files to be attached. Emby 3.2.30 (but also 3.26-ish) Config Plugin 1.0.1.16 Error message: Configuration Backup failed.6 hours ago Method 'MediaBrowser.Controller.Library.IUserDataManager.GetAllUserData' not found.

Luke 37161 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Sorry, what folder exactly did you move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahbi_santini 7 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) cp -R /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/var/data/ /volumeUSB1/usbshare/Emby/data/ ln -s /volumeUSB1/usbshare/Emby/data /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/var/data If you read the Performance Improvements post, it'll explain exactly what I did. See also the files I just uploaded. I'll upload the log file in a second. Edited September 17, 2017 by ahbi_santini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37161 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ok, while it's nice that you found a community tip and trick, please be aware it's not something we have ever tested, therefore we cannot currently make any promises that things are going to work properly after making the change. If you do attach the log though, perhaps there will be something that can be easily fixed. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahbi_santini 7 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Understood I am doing something weird and should expect weird results. I am outside the normal bounds, I understand. But, if I don't report anything then you never know.

Luke 37161 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 But, if I don't report anything then you never know. Yes, you're exactly right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37161 Posted September 17, 2017 Solution Share Posted September 17, 2017 For starters, I would go to the plugin catalog, and make sure the latest version of the backup plugin is the one you have installed. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37161 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 While you're there you should do the same with the Roku plugin because that one looks out of date as well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahbi_santini 7 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Well, that made a difference! It works now. Not sure why the automated plug-in update Scheduled Task didn't pick those up. I assume moving things subtlety broke a few things. Hopefully now that the 2 plugins have been updated post-move they'll show up in the Scheduled task scan. If not, I can do it manually. Thanks again for the suggestion and fix.
