Backup/Restore no restore with Premier

[scottpa 2]

Hello,

I had to do a clean reinstall of Emby (4.10.04) after a system (Terramaster) update. I have a Lifetime premier membership and had the backups running (4.10.03) prior to the system update. I now want to restore my config. I installed the backup and restore plugin and restarted Emby server. However when I go back to the Backup/Restore tab, there is no restore option that I can see.

I am wondering if there is an issue with my Premier registration. If I open Emby from the TOS (Terramaster OS) desktop link, it opens on port 8185 "8185/emby/web/index.html#!/home" the Get Premiere button in the top right of the screen. In the Premier tab, I have my key entered but there is no status message about my membership. When clicking save, I get the confirmation message and the blue "processing" circle appears and doesn't go away until you move off that tab.

However if I log on using the link given on the dashboard, port 8096 ":8096/web/index.html#!/home" logging in as the admin user, the Get Premier button is not displayed and in the Premier tab, I get a status message "You have a Lifetime Emby Premiere plan". If I go into Backup/Restore tab on this login, I still don't get a Restore option.

I'm stumped as to what to do next to fix this, any ideas? tia.

Did you configure the path to where your backups are? It will scan what is available and the restore option will appear.

Thanks, that was the solution.

Please also note that the backup/restore plugin doesn't actually backup and restore everything
You would think it would include everything but it doesn't

Last time I had to use it I found lots of settings were missing:
