I lost access to my entire Plex library when my Hard Drive was replaced. Does Plex store any kind of back up or do I need to repopulate my libarary from scratch?

Server Version#:1.27.0
Player Version#: unsure

If the actual media files were lost with the HDD, they are gone. You’ll have to recreate your library. HDD’s are cheap. Buy a 5TB USP HDD and back up your files. ALWAYS have a duplicate set of files on a second HDD!!! You can also backup the Plex library data and metadata as well.

The media files themselves are backed up. It was just the plex Library Data. . . . which I just retrieved. Thanks for your help!
