I recently updated the firmware on my QNAP server and Plex wouldn’t load afterwards. I ended up reinstalling Plex. Is there an easy way to backup and restore the metadata for these types of situations?

I ended up accessing the folder share from a Windows machine and was able to zip up the folder.

Backup and restore?
