How to backup libraries, metadata, covers, etc., if I need to change my hard drive where the plex server is?
Greetings all, I need to change the hard drive on my pc (win10) where the plex server is and I want to know how to backup my libraries, metadata, cover art etc. My movie library is large and I have spent a lot of time searching for titles and dates for plex to save them correctly.
Thanks in advance.

If you need to relocate you media: Move Media Content to a New Location.
Metadata, etc is stored in the Plex data folder. See Move an Install to Another System, as you’re basically doing the same as moving to a new server.
If you need more space on the C:\ drive, you can move the Plex data folder to another drive. For example, from the default location, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server, to E:\plex\Plex Media Server.
