Newb getting ready to "move" Emby to new QNAP NAS

[Talkworks 5]

I do apologize.  I feel like I just barely know enough about a NAS and Emby to get into trouble. I'm moving from a TS-431K to a TS-464. I'm hoping my users see better performance and am curious about the transcoding.  I don't know if I've got the back-up working correct on the 431K because there was nothing below "Save" to "Restore" except now there is? I do have Scheduled Tasks set to run a back-up Daily. Is this the same kind of "Backup" I would run using the Advanced Back-up and Restore Plugin?  I see now it took just over 14 minutes for the back-up to complete. However it appears as if nothing was being backed up before today. I am reading with interest the Post , "Back up and restore Emby / new installation emby Server on QNAP NAS" by the courageous kellerduell 

I would be pleased to receive any advice regarding the common mistakes.  It appears the next task to to move the media to the new NAS, maintaining folder structure and names, etc. Ive added a log file and a screen capture of the Mac Finder's view of the Emby Backup Folder Location as entered under "Advanced" in the Emby configuration interface as: /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Public back-up folder.

Thanks,

Dan

HI, from a glance, yes that backup looks OK. Have you tried restoring on the new NAS?

No I haven't tried restoring on the new NAS.  It took me quite a while to figure out how to make a back-up on my old NAS/Emby so that I wouId have something I could restore from.   All this time I thought it was backing-up.  The next step is apparently to copy the media over, then install the correct version of Emby onto the new machine (Intel Celeron with Graphics Chip) - looks like this one (emby-server-qnap_4.9.1.90_x86_64.qpkg). Then at that point I suppose I try to restore the old backup from the old NAS onto the new Emby on the new machine.  That sounds like a lot could go wrong but maybe I'll get lucky? Both NAS/Embys will sit on my home network but will have different IPs and ports. When testing the new Emby, the old one will need to be stopped.

Always open to suggestions, it's often better to prevent problems rather than fix them after they've occured. 

thanks,

Dan
