Export all settings for new server?

[BrianG44 1]

I currently have Emby server running on a Win10 box and it has worked exactly as it should for a long time (since around the MediaBrowser days). Now that Win10 is out of support, I want to migrate everything over to Linux Mint. Is there a way to export the current server settings and import them into the new server?

I know there will be some differences (like disk mount points and paths) that will change, but I'd like to simplify this as much as possible. I started taking screenshots of all the admin settings but that is getting out of hand and is really clunky.

Backup & Restore plugin - not sure how well it'll work for cross-platform restore (though I suppose it should cover majority of settings):

I think opp will need to add new paths to librarys

Since windows c:\path to media\movies\movie\file

and linux mount/path to media/movies/movie/file

and delete the ones from windows.

There might be other things that would break due to path change.

Thanks. I plan to tackle the project this weekend, so I'll let you know. I have a new SSD for the OS drive, so if things really go off the rails, I can at least pop the old drive back in until I sort things out.

BTW, I did try searching the knowledge base, but guess I should have used "backup restore" instead of "export settings".

I'm positive OP's aware:

Yeah, I figured there will be mount point and path changes. I was just hoping to simplify the billion other settings.

HI, yes please follow this: Backup & Restore

OK, so I used the backup and restore feature, and it worked pretty well. Of course there was a lot of drive mapping I had to update for libraries, caches, etc. Then there were some other things I wanted to change, so I don't know; I think if I was to do it all over again, I'd just set it up from scratch.
