I also had a PlexData folder and the “Could not create PlexData share
“ Error" so I deleted it.
Decided to read a bit about it this share PlexData share for QNAP systems
After reading I still have some difficulty to understand what this PlexData is for.
- “Ability to backup and restore your Plex installation (metadata)“
What do you mean by metadata, does it include the databases?
/share/_installation_volume/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/Library/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/
I care mostly about “backup and restore” and I think Plex is lacking user-friendly tooling for this, not only for the database but also for individual items like playlist.
I’d like to have easy backup option “fail save” and tested by Plex devs; instead of my own backup script and an outdated readme.md hoping that a restore works when I might need it.
- Allow easy access to log files and plug-ins when PMS isn’t operating.
via a share and not ssh I assume?
- Improve feedback to you (the admin) about PMS’s operational state as well as improving package management feedback in both the Event Notifications window and the system log.
Could you elaborate on this?
- Incorporate the functionality of PMSLibShare and have it track through “migrate to” relocation of the volume PMS is installed on to facilitate access to Plug-ins & Logs from File Station at all times. (PMSLibShare functionality)
Could you elaborate on this?
