jachin99 88 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Hello, I am going to try to move my emby server to a different PC. Instead of using backup and restore to retain everything, I think I just want to start fresh because my music library is screwed up, and I know I'll have to recreate my libraries, and redo SSL anyway. The one thing I really would like to keep is the watched status of all of my media. I plan on adding the exact same users to the new server configuration, and I was wondering if there was a way to backup and restore this from the old to the new machine.
Happy2Play 9781 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Uses the Server Configuration Backup plugin and only restore Users and Userdata. Otherwise you will have to copy your existing databases to maintain the userdata. 1 1
Gilgamesh_48 1240 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I suggest Trakt. It works fine for me and you just have to import watched status for each use and, if they have different watched states, you can create a seperate free Trakt account for each user.

ghaugabrook 17 Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 There seems to be a lot of holes in the Trakt sync. I'm missing a lot of watched data with Trakt. Is there anyway to restore watched state from Simkl cvs file?

ghaugabrook 17 Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Thanks Luke. I had some issues earlier this week. One of the kids pc got a cold and that little bug seem to spread to my server as well. My emby backup got corrupted as well. After I cleaned everything out and reinstalled I was trying to use trakt to put my watch list back, but as I stated, trakt doesn't seem to do as good a job as it should with keeping up with stuff. It's no biggie. We'll just have to manually update what's missing as it comes up, if we're still watching it. Peace & Love Luke
Carlo 4561 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 If you still have the backup files available I can likely help you out to restore your watched data.
ghaugabrook 17 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Yes, I still have the back up from 2/26/2021

ghaugabrook 17 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Thank you Cayars for your assistance today. Thank you for remoting into my pc and fixing my database issue, restoring my playstates, and tweaking everything. Awesome support from team Emby! 1
WeWillSee 2 Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 I was wondering i have 1 user that i want to move from one server to another. is it possible to backup or transfer the watch history and favorites of this one user? or will this user lose everyhting? the old and new server has multiple users on it. but i'm just interested in switching this one user?

Hi. You can do that with our configuration backup plug-in.
WeWillSee 2 Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 This won't erase the history of th other users on that server? you can do the back-up for 1 single user?

This is also my question. I have been using Trakt BUT it has become less reliable and i really want to move to another solution but what i need is a bit different. Rather that cluttering up this thread with my questions and other drivel so: Is there some place with detailed instructions about how to use that plugin. I will try to find the answers i need in the plugin forum but, as i age, it has become more difficult for me to do extended research. Thanks.
