Best way to save images uploaded to Emby

[PhilWhite 64]

What is the best way to save images that you upload to Emby that will survive a reuild that does not involve saving the emby-server profile?  I am currently on TrueNas Core, which uses freebsd, and plan to migrate to TrueNas Scale in the near future.  I assume I will need to rebuild my emby-server after the migration of data since TrueNAS Scale is linux based and that a transfer of a server based in freebsd will not work in that situation.  Is there a way to protect images that I have uploaded to Emby over time (some concert photos that I have taken myself, some grabbed images to complete missing images from Emby scans)?  Related question --  I have been trying to get Emby to save all images to my media folders, but I cannot find them in the media folders after refreshing metadata and repeating a library scan (at least for Music artists).  It has been saving Movies images and nfos without problems.  I have also tried placing new images into old folders for extrathumbs created in the past when I was playing around with Kodi -- I moved the pictures to the artist's folder and placed them in the extrathumbs folder and renamed them thumb#, but a rescan did not pick up the new images.  I hope there is an easy answer to this issue.  I can always just re-upload the images after rebuilding the server on Scale, but I have done that so many times in the past I would like to avoid having to do it again.

Thanks, I will check it out

 

edit: Actually, thank you very much.  Looking through that thread I realized that I had the old Kodi naming convention for everything that I did have in place.  I am in the process of changing to Emby's naming convention and adding all the images that typically go missing with a new rebuild directly to artist folders and that should completely solve my problem.
