So, something happened to my SSD, windows is no longer booting, some folder are corrupted and can't be accessed using another computer (even though chkdsk tells me everything is fine).

I managed to backup the appdata folder: roaming/Emby-Server

So I reinstalled emby on the fresh windows installation last night. Naively copied the folder in appdata/roaming, started Emby, and everything seemed fine:
The libraries were there, the users too, the metadata was not, but it was being downloaded.

This morning however, the libraries were not there anymore.

Is there a better way to migrate a salvaged backup?

Are all the library folder paths exactly the same as before? Are you sure your library folder paths are reachable?

They are, but I just saw that the user name in windows is not the same and that an appdata folder has been created in a folder with my last username, I'll try to change the username to the old one and retry.

thanks.
