1. disable automatic and periodic library updates
2. disable “Empty trash automatically after every scan”
3. restore an older version of the database [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/)
4. edit the database directly and replace the old NAS IP with the new one: [[HowTo] Plex database modification - Moving media the right/wrong way - #10 by jelwell](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-plex-database-modification-moving-media-the-right-wrong-way/126701/10)
