Server Configuration Backup Plugin - How to manual backup/restore

[somy 25]

Hi,

Where can I manually backup/restore Emby server configuration by the Server Configuration Backup Plugin?

I only find a way to run the backup as scheduled task.

Another question: what exactly does it backup? Does it backup all media data as well (database, thumbnail etc.)?

Thank you!

Hi, try clicking on one of your backups and it will show you everything that can be restored.

The plug-in used to have a "Backup now" button but I guess it is not there anymore.  You can kick off the task manually in scheduled tasks.

No.  This is a configuration backup not a data backup.  It will allow you to backup some user data like watched states but not metadata or media, etc.

Thanks @@Luke and @@ebr, I saw the restore now option when I click the backup.

I have a premiere license, but have screwed my installation somehow on Linux (OpenSUSE LEAP 15.3). How can I manually back up user accounts so I can reinstall the server?

My Emby is not listening on any ports.
