Is there away to transfer Plex Data to another server?

Hi,
I have quastion regarding moving my Plex data to another ( new ) server !

I have Plex server installed on my iMAC and worked hard to manage the media on it,
but I’m planning to move to NAS Server and wondering if there is way to move same data to new
Plex server like data and catagories? as we do in iPhone ( Backup and Restore )

Best Regards,

See if this helps:

But note that!
“ These instructions are designed for moving between two systems running the same operating system (e.g. Windows to Windows). It is generally possible to move between different operating systems, but that’s much more complicated and requires mapping the additional server settings from how they’re stored in one operating system to the other (e.g. mapping Windows registry values to the OS X plist file). That is not officially supported and not covered here.”

It is possible, follow Tony_T’s steps.

Which NAS system were you thinking of moving the data to?

I’m planning to have Netgear ReadyNAS 626X

Given the time invested in your Plex Media Server,
I suggest you create a test server on your iMac,
and test migrate it.

Because the ReadyNAS would be new to me,
I’d have to spend a lot of time experimenting with
filesystem/volume/pool setup, speed tests, iperf3 etc.
