Backup Plugin: Restoring to different path breaks Auto-Boxsets

[Dibbes 514]

FYI - Just noticed that when restoring the config of a server to a different path, the collections are not working anymore. When manually changing the %AppData%\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default\Movie Boxsets\collections.mblink and %AppData%\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\root\default\Movie Boxsets\options.xml to reflect the new %appdata% path, the collections started properly displaying again.

Did you read our guide on migrating collections?

I thought you may want to adapt the backup plugin though... I mean, restoring already breaks all sorts of things, maybe this shouldn't be "broken" when restoring from a backup

We already have it in our guidance that you should not restore certain things when paths have changed. Could we improve the restore process though to not even allow you to attempt it? Yes we could.

Probably not a bad idea. If it's not going to be "possible" to restore, then at least a notification of what isn't restored would be a nice thing...
