How to preserve metadata when changing my mac. (files are in ext. hd)

( Sorry my english )

Hello, could you please help me? This is my configuration.

( imac os: 10.12.6, Sierra. Plex server: Versión 1.18.6.2368 )

  • I have my plex server installed on an imac and all files are on an external hard drive.

  • I had to manually modify the information (metadata) of almost all the files, title correction, synopsis, covers …

Now I need to format my imac (I always format the imac “from scratch”) and then I will reinstall the plex media server application. Years ago I did it and I lost all those changes that I had made in the information of the movies, the (metadata).

How can I do so that these changes are not lost and then retrieve them in the installation of the application in the new imac.
Do I save them somewhere and then recover them in the new installation?
What I can do ??
Thank you!!!

David

I answered this on your other thread with the same topic. Double-posting is generally frowned upon.
