Migrating from DSM6 to DSM7.1 - Lost all Plex settings/libraries

UPDATE: I am following the instructions provided in this thread (I bungled my DSM7 migration. How do I get my metadata back? - #8 by ChuckPa) and am reinstalling. It now looks like the migration is in progress. It is still showing “Installing”, but I see Migration.log in the Plex shared folder, and I don’t think that was there on the first attempt.

I’m glad you found the official documentation.

With it in “Installing”, don’t interrupt it. Allow it to continue as long as needed.
It will complete and your server will be moved intact.
