Server Version#: 4.47.3  
Player Version#: n/a  
Something big happened to my plex server that caused it to rescan a huge portion of my movies about 10 days ago. Now I noticed that half my collections are empty and half the changes I made including renaming, correcting movie titles, and getting better thumbnails are gone. It seems like it had to rescan at least 800 of my movies.

I checked the directory they are movies are stored in and they have moved. Is there any way I can roll back the database to before 10 days ago? I noticed 10 days ago my server computer was running slow so I rebooted it. I think this was the end result.

You might want to take a look at this support article.  
If you have database backups enabled as part of the server’s scheduled tasks you might be lucky – 10 days might however be a fringe case

_fingers crossed_
