Hello alll.

Today all my library lost the original posters I uploaded for every movie, every movie lost the date in which it were added to the lbrary, the collections were empty, the names of the movies were also deleted…is anybody familiar with this…is there some kind of workaround to come back to the previous situation ?

Restore one of the database backups: [https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/)

Disable the checkbox “Empty trash automatically after every scan” if your media storage is either _outside_ of the Plex server machine, or you are using hard drives and allow them to spin down their platters when idle.
