backup&restore(question)

[zlhyh 17]

Due to a hardware change (switching NAS brands), I intend to migrate to the Docker version. I would like to know the proper procedure to transfer all Emby data and metadata to the new server while preserving all settings. Please note that the directory structure on the new NAS is different.

Backup & Restore

yes，I use this。but:

First, I changed the media storage directory on the new server. Also, I have a lot of custom actors, movie covers, and other metadata in Emby on the old server. I wonder if I can migrate them over?

I also don't know what steps to follow. I want to do it this way and wonder if it will work:
Back up all data using Emby's Backup & Restore on the old server.
Install Emby (Docker) on the new server and set up the admin account.
Copy all media files (videos, TV shows, music, e-books, etc.) to the new server.
Restore the data using Backup & Restore in the new Emby (Docker) instance.
Reconfigure the media library directories accordingly.

Hi, do you have nfo files next to your media?

Hopefully the document covers all of that. If not, then @sa2000can work with you to improve it. Thanks.
