I have a QNAP TVS-672XT and right now Plex is working great. I currently have Plex Media Server and my files on one of the installed hard drives in the QNAP. That hard drive is getting pretty full so I purchased a bigger HD to replace the one I am currently using. What is the best way to move all of my files and the Plex Media Server (and all the settings) to the new HD? The original HD with Plex Media Server and all of the files on it is still installed in the QNAP, and the new HD has not even been opened yet. Not sure if this helps or not, but I do have a backup of the media files on a second drive in the QNAP. Thank you in advance for any help.
Two suggested readings for you:
- How to create a “PlexData” shared folder to make the backup and restore task easier.
- The actual process to backup and restore.

I must apologize. The hour was late when I wrote.
There is another mechanism.
In App Center, click the arrow under “Plex Media Server”
It will show you the “Migrate To” button.
Select the new drive you want PMS to be stored on.
When you complete the selection, QTS will move the app and all files for you.
It will take time but there is no additional work required from you.
