Moving Emby to a new server

[Cyberbob2021 13]

Hi All & thanks in advance for any advice, 

I'm in the process of backing up my emby, to move to new home, its all ready to go, however I have a few questions. 

im backing up both folders complete in the data roaming part of instructions.  my issue is the machine im moving from path was user richard, now its user emby (windows name for path) on the new machine. will I need to edit anything for the paths.  I left as default paths. 

ill take a screen shot if that don't make sense 

my network shares are exactly the same. its just the paths for the roaming part.

New Paths example C:\Users\emby\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\cache

OLD Paths

Cache:

C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\cache

Logs:

C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\logs

Metadata:

C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\metadata

Transcoding temporary files:

C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\transcoding-temp

Unless you have a really old installations these paths are a token in the database to make this move possible.  Since you don't have any Custom paths you should not have issue.

Library paths may be your only issue if they change in this move.

Thanks for reply. I kept library paths the same on new pc, just the pc named changed and the pc user name.  installation is about 6 months old and all up to date.  I had read and followed the manual instructions to back up & restore.   so fingers crossed for me  thanks for help .

all done 14gb lol of meta data and saved bits ect, everything working, much faster on its own PC rather than my desktop. & even kept where I'm upto on episodes. it all just looks how it looked on the other pc. At least I know exactly what to back up now and then. my data is on 2 NAs drives.

Thanks for the replies

In the end it was a really straight forward move, I did follow the Backup guide which helped loads.
