Further to this - i have tried a few of my backups - none of them work.  I am attaching the full log of the last try - post a server restart.  The rest of the family are getting quote a bit 'tetchy' with this being down so long......  Yep, i can re add the users and the libraries from scratch - but the backup/restore worked fine about a year ago when i did it then..... so id like to give it a chance.

I have migrated 4 Emby servers to new physical computers for myself and friends/FAMILY in the last 2 months, without any dramas.

 

First, I first took a backup via the plugin on the old PC, set up Emby on the new PC (adding the libraries and users etc), installed the backup plugin and let an initial library scan run.

 

I then copied over the backup ZIP from the old PC and from that backup, I restored the watched status for each of the users and the stuff under MORE.

 

Once Emby server restarted, all was good.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi.

 

Thanks for the reply - it worked for me last time too a year ago.

My backups have been running every day, keeping 15 of them, and they go to my NAS,

I wiped my system (so i cant do another backup - what is there is there)

I installed the plugin, pointed it at the same location - they all show up - so i guess it is working.

I click one, click restore, say yes to the message that will be replaced - but nothing ever does - the error is in the logs/post.

 

It takes 8+ hours to read all my media - but I DONT want to lose the watched status or the entire house will be mad as hell.

 

If i don't get a message back by the time I go to bed, i will kick off a library add/scan to run overnight.

Not sure what we to suggest.

 

Sounds like you've do e what is needed.

 

I would set up your libraries first though and let Emby scan them, but that's up to you.

[vaise 340]

Yep - libs' all added now, scanning away.  I am off to bed.  Wife none too happy so I have resurrected Plex that is on our NAS to keep the peace so there is stuff to watch at least.

 

Maybe someone will get a chance to look at the logs and find out what is needed to be done while I sleep.

I've pushed a compatibility update to the backup plugin for the latest release of the server, thanks.

[vaise 340]

Hi Luke,

What does that mean - Do I uninstall and re-install the server backup plugin ?  or upgrade to the beta release of the emby server ?  or both ?  As nothing is saying to update.

Edited May 7, 2017 by vaise

[Luke 42083]

The server dashboard will notify you when it has detected that the plugin update is available. thanks.

[vaise 340]

Thanks luke - how long before it checks ?  its been pver 4 hours since you posted that you did it.

[vaise 340]

I just restarted the server - then it has come up - updating now.

[vaise 340]

Yay - Restore is working now.  All back to normal.  Cbers - you may want to update too - as there was some sort of issue.

[vaise 340]

All looks good.

[Luke 42083]

Thanks for the feedback.
