FreeNAS Noob Trying to migrate from Win10

I'd like to migrate all my user data and such to my FreeNAS server from my Windows 10 server. I've tried to restore a backup via the plugin to no avail. It just spins in circles for eternity, possibly because I haven't bought the emby premiere subscription.

The next option that came to mind was to move the programdata folder onto share so I can manually copy from my Win10 programdata folder.

 

Some things I've tried include:

sysrc emby_server_data_dir="/mnt/emby-server"
mv /var/db/emby-server /mnt/emby-server

Again, complete FreeBSD noob here...

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Emby version is 4.0.0.2

Hi there, the problem is that the program data folder will contain references to windows folder paths that are not going to be valid on FreeBSD. This could cause problems. When  you are switching operating systems I really would suggest a fresh start.

 

You can still use our documented backup procedures for users and user data if you wish:

But I would just leave it at that and not try to port anything else over. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
