Best way to migrate database and cache info?

[pir8radio 1312]

My mediabrowser database and cache folder is about 25 gig, and it seems to be a little laggy when searching and pulling up a page with a bunch of album images on it..   I bought a 128 GB SSD and want to migrate my user/roaming/appdata/mediabrowser folder over to the SSD...  what is the best way to go about this?  Just copy and change some settings in the admin page?   all will be good?  

 

Thanks,

maybe you try this

 

 

mklink

Well, i'm looking for media browser specific info. and how to re-point to the new location via the media browser interface...  thanks anyway.  in particular these paths need to be updated:

Cache:

C:\Users\DL380e-User\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\cache

Images by name:

C:\Users\DL380e-User\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName

Logs:

C:\Users\DL380e-User\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\logs

Metadata:

C:\Users\DL380e-User\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\data\metadata

Transcoding temporary files:

C:\Users\DL380e-User\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\transcoding-temp

The backup and restore plug-in might work for you.

Copy it over while the server is stopped then change the pathes to the new location, all but logs can be changed in the MB config pages.

Some one else will have to tell you how to move the logs but they don't really have to be moved for performance like the others.

 

Make sure you give the correct permissions on the new folder just like the old folders.

got it, what about the actual database?

The backup & restore plugin, along with this guide:

are the supported backup processes.

Im not backing up... im trying to move all of the files that Media browser uses from the app data folder to a dedicated SSD.  and have them operate from their new home there.

Transcoding temporary files:

You can define custom paths via Dashboard at

 

Library-Advanced-Image by Name path

Metadata-Advanced-Metadata path

Playback-Transcoding-Transcoding temp path

Plugins-Channels-Channel content path

 

Logs cannot be relocated at this time.

it was the database i was looking to relocate as well as everything else.      I ended up moving the entire MediaBrowser-Server folder to my SSD and going into a command prompt making my way to the c:\users\XXXXX\appdata\roaming\ and entering:  mklink /j MediaBrowser-Server X:\MediaBrowser-Server   where X:\MediaBrowser-Server was the location on the SSD... now logs, database everything is on the SSD.   and it's all working well.

 

So in the end @@Schimi was partially correct, i just didn't get where he was going with his post at first..
