Moving MB Server to another PC?

[divide_by_zero 7]

Howdy everyone,

 

I'd like to move it off my Media Center system and put it on my WHS file server so I can start accessing it with other clients even if my media center is off.

 

Anyone have any experience with moving the MB Server off of one system, and installing it on another system? Any way to salvage all of the metadeta, paths to shares, and other config data without starting from scratch in this scenario? Did a bit of searching, but didn't really find any threads that were geared towards this.

 

Thanks!

You could install MBS, ensure MBS is not running then copy your C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server folder from old system to new system.

 

Note depending in the size of your collection and how you save your metadata this folder may be rather large.

 

I would assure all your data is on your WHS and you already used UNC paths for your share folders.
