Migrate Linux res due to broken disk

[NCBillP 0]

My Ubuntu 18.04.5 broke with Emby-server 4.4.0.40.  All media files are on other discs.  New Ubuntu has 20.04.1 and I have downloaded Emby-server 4.5.3.0.  I have access to a backup copy of the original /var/lib/emby from 4.4.0.40.  If I install the new Emby-server 4.5.3.0 can I simply restore the /var/lib/emby from 4.4.0.40 to get up and running or are the contents of the /var/lib/emby folder incompatible? 

Thanks,

NCBillP

I'm not a linux guy but would think as long as you checked the permissions after doing the copy you should be ok.

You may find something useful in this KB articles but I think you'll be ok doing what you plan to do.
