Help: restore not restoring libraries after new Debian OS installation

[luckyluca 3]

Hi,

I followed the instructions and made backups of my Emby server installation prior replacing the ssd and reinstalling Debian 13 and Emby from scratch onto the new disk.

All library paths remain the same; however, my Linux user changed from idkpro to conte. I also changed the Emby user from idkpro to conte.

 

When restoring using the restore function and rebooting the server, libraries do not appear. I also tried using the extract user option to convert to the new user to no avail.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

Thanks!

Do not appear where?

Please find the logs attached. 

Since my first post, I enabled debug and tried restoring the backups again (to no avail).

What I meant is that under settings -> Emby server -> Library

nothing appears. It looks as if nothing was restored, nor settings. Right after the restore is supposed to have concluded, the server does not restart by itself.

I also tried restoring the full backup first, and the last snapshot afterwards.

Hi, apologies for the disruption. I've pushed an update to the backup plugin, version 1.8.6. Once you have that, please try again. Thanks.

@LukeI have similar issue, old and new server both running on Debian.
I have back up restore plugin installed on the new server (version 1.8.7) 
embyserver.txt restore does not do anything - just saying please wait.
Please assist

Hi, the end of this log contains restore activity. I think you just need to wait for it to finish.

@Luke I've successfully restored the server, the reason it took so long was  the size of the back up ,  around 80Gb . 
Appreciate your quick reply , thank you.
