Server Version#: MyCloudHome
Does anyone know where the metadata is stored when using the MyCloudHome as a plex Server?
Specifically, I would like to locate it, so I can back it up and transfer it to a NETGEAR R9000 Nighthawk X10, which I intend to use as my Plex Server going forward.
Thanks
The data directory is supposed to be located under:
/mnt/HD/HD_a2/plex_conf/Plex Media Server/
I have no specific information if / how easily you can actually move the data across those different platforms.
Thanks,
I am presuming this directory is only viewable by mapping the MyCloudHome drive?
I don’t think you can see that by mapping the drive.
You’ll probably need to SSH on the NAS itself and handle this using a shell/terminal.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by
“SSH on the NAS itself and handle this using a shell/terminal”
Your NAS is basically a computer of its own.
You can access its content through their “web user interface” or through shares made available in your home network (e.g. opening the NAS from your Windows Explorer).
As it’s a computer you can however also a connection through a command prompt via a protocol called SSH. This will allow you to execute commands directly on the NAS from your connected PC.
That being said… if you’re not familiar with it, you might prefer not to go down that rabbit hole as this can get quite complicated.
If you want to look into this, you can use an app called putty or the built-in SSH client in Windows 10. You probably need to enable SSH on the MyCloud first and you’ll need to familiarize yourself with Linux commands to navigate/copy your files…
Thats a bit more technical for me unfortunately, but thanks for the info, much appreciated
