Migration from Xpenology/Synology to Unraid

[n00b42 41]

Hi, I decided to switch away from Xpenology and after some thoughts about TrueNAS, I decided to give Unraid a try (totally unrelated: after my mainboard broke).

Now, I have some Config Backups, and I was thinking about importing it, but as most paths changed I wanted to ask if I should or have to do the configuration by hand?

And while that might not be a big problem, I would like to at least import the users watched state (for the other users), will that be possible if I do everything else by hand?

If you're a Premiere member try the Backup Configuration plugin which also does restores.

One of the specific you can restore is watched data.

If all your paths are going to change you are likely to start from scratch but doing a User restore right after getting Emby setup.  Then add your libraries and let it scan.

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, I have Premiere/Backup Configuration, but did not know if restoring is possible on a granular basis.

Iwill do that.

Try and do a restore (don't really do it just start the process).

You will see lots of things to be able to selectively restore.

Thanks, worked so far.

 

Just if thats not known / expected: While the Users were successfully restored (at least at a first glimpse), the user images while existing in the user folders are not associated with the profiles.
