zBernie 12 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have Emby running on my DS418. Is there a way to backup all of the configuration changes I've made? -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 5770 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Ideally you would use the Server Configuration Backup plugin. But it should be Emby's Programdata folder. Program data path: /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Program data path: /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var I looked under plugins, but I did not see a backup plugin. Can you tell me how to go about installing the backup plugin? -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28670 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It's in the emby plugin catalog. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 3331 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think you have to be a supporter to actually use the "Server Configuration Backup" plugin. Otherwise, just backup the folder H2P mentioned earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 5770 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Note the plugin only backups up configurations and users and userdata, not databases and metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution zBernie 12 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted January 30, 2020 Note the plugin only backups up configurations and users and userdata, not databases and metadata. I found it and scheduled it to run each day at 4 AM. -Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 5770 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Is there a way to backup databases and metadata? -Thanks Manually via the path shown above. I don't have this server but assume Emby installed programdata would be self constaned in that location like Windows installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zBernie 12 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Manually via the path shown above. I don't have this server but assume Emby installed programdata would be self constaned in that location like Windows installs. On my NAS that directory is about 10 GB in size. So just to be sure, if my NAS blew up, and I reinstalled Emby on the new NAS, then copied the below directory contents, everything would be restored? Assuming media is in the same path. > ls /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var cache config data ESdaemon.lock esdaemon.pid logs metadata passwordreset.txt plugins root transcoding-temp -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zBernie 12 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 with a backup of that directory, yes. Thanks, that's great news! I will certainly back it up once I've completed with configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
