Migrate Server - Change Guests to Users?

[Sammy 790]

I have wanted to migrate my server to a different Windows user or maybe even on a different PC for quite some time now but still haven't got to it do to this and that and another thing. I will probably just change it to a different user on the same PC because the other machine is often quite busy with recording Blue Iris Security Camera Footage and other intensive duties with a CPU usage of often 70% to 90%. This is not ideal for an Emby Server IMHO.

 

At any rate, I read on this forum an old post that only Users can be backed up with Server Configuration Backup to be restored in a new server but that Guests cannot. I have two guests that I'd prefer not disturbing all their bookmarks and resume points. Is i possible to "upgrade" a guest to a user or is this no longer an issue with Emby now?

 

Thanks.

they pretty much are regular users, just displayed under their own guests heading.

So when I migrate the server the guests will not be lost or lose their bookmarks?

I'll take a look at that thread but I love it.
