oxidius 0 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 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-ServerSo 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?
Luke 38989 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Are all the library folder paths exactly the same as before? Are you sure your library folder paths are reachable?
oxidius 0 Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 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.
