RLG59RD 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi Guys, Lots of questions on the go, in different areas? Is it possible to use a Back Up file from my PC server and use it on a new NAS Drive set up? Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36880 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi, do you mean from the backup plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLG59RD 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi Luke , Yes from the plug in, if it's possible? Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 36880 Posted July 23, 2018 Solution Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yes you can, just be careful not restore things that have paths in them because that could cause problems. I could consider just restoring the users and user data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul1965 2 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Luke, I'm in the process of copying my library from one NAS to another (and moving Emby from my PC to the NAS). I've decided to change the folder structure somewhat, but I want to keep as many of my current library settings as I can (next up, latest, etc). If I edit the .mblink file for each library section in the library folder of the latest backup from my PC, then import it into the new NAS, will that work? I would be editing the path of the old NAS and updating it to the new NAS. The new NAS will have the same name, but for a couple of TV types I'm removing the parent folder (ex. Television/Cooking will be just Cooking). Edited February 7, 2019 by paul1965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36880 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 That's not being actively tested, so I would not suggest doing that. Granted if you have a full backup then that gives you the ability to try and roll it back if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted if you have a full backup then that gives you the ability to try and roll it back if needed. I'll do a backup first then edit the other one and import it to see what happens. If it works, great. If not I'm not out much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36880 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1965 2 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Editing the backup worked quite well. I was able to edit user info and library location data, then imported it using SSH (since I couldn't browse the network). Once I loaded the edited backup into Emby, it displayed my custom images, correct library info, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
