I am wondering if I can back up everything on my 16GB Shield and move it over to my new Nvidia Shield Pro. I was able to get my hands on a Pro version of the Nvidia shield and updated it to SSD. I am wondering if I can copy over the database from my 16GB version and move it over to the Pro Version.
On the 16GB version, I have moved the database to external storage if this makes a difference. I have a pretty large Music Library that was always filling up the 16GB with Meta data but this shouldn’t be a problem on the Pro version.
Has anyone done this? Has anyone backed up the database and the did a full restore on the device and placed the Plex data back on their device?
Any thoughts would be great and I will keep looking around as well for the answer.
Obviously no one has done it.
If you have the data on external storage you could back it up from there and copy it on the new Shield. But keep in mind that you would probably also need to move the plex data to user-accessible storage on the new Shield Pro.
Since you have both devices at hand, you won’t break anything by trying to copy it over.
I just broke down and started fresh… Gives me something to do during the day while work is slow. Everything has been moved over and the old system has been reset.
