Restoring Emby from thumb drive

[iiiJoe 62]

Hello to all. I'm upgrading to a new pc and am wondering if I can save the most recent backup from emby on my old pc on a thumb drive and restore on my new one? I've read some of the posts on back up and restore but I'm not really grasping the details. Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advance!

Yes there would be two options here

If using the Server Configuration Backup plugin, you would copy or backup directly to thumbdrive.  But not that is just configs, user/userdata.

Or if the drive is large enough you copy the entire Emby programdata folder to have a exact backup of your current install.  Only thing you have to watch out for is ensure library paths remain the same on new one.

@Happy2Play, thank you! I’ll try these methods today.

@Happy2Play, I used the back up plug in and it worked great. Ty again!
