I have a Synology NAS, and through the DSM, I installed the Plex server. I’ve added a lot of Collections, and added custom posters to collections. It’s all working perfectly.
However, I am a little nervous that I don’t seem to have a backup of all the metadata that I’ve added, and the collections, and associated posters. If my Synology hard drives crash, I have all my files backed up elsewhere but I dont think I have the Plex files backed up.
I did read a few articles that said go to homes/plex and there will be some files there, but that location doesn’t exist. I can’t seem to find any plex folders through Synology File Station at all.
How do I find the plex files, so I can back them up?
I can install PlexMediaServer-1.24.1.4931-1a38e63c6-aarch64_DSM7 totally fine, but when I try and install PlexMediaServer-1.24.2.4955-d26a2afaa-x86_64_DSM7, I get an error message to say this version is not supported by my NAS or the DSM version.
I’m not sure why, my DSM is 7, and the first version installed fine.
I appear to be in a horrible situation where I followed along with DSM 7 update, including the Plex Beta install that it prompted me for, selected Volume 1 like it needed, selected the old plex folder for it to use (assuming it would pick up the old data) and now my entire old Plex folder is blown away and replaced with a default install!!
No WARNING?? NOTHING is saved? Nothing can be restored? Do I really have to start all over from scratch? This is TERRIBLE upgrade process!! What can I do now? Fortunately my MEDIA is kept in a separate folder or would it have blown away the entire contents of that folder without any warning either??
