Server Version#: 1.24.0.4930
Hi,
i’m running a plex server on a beelink sei8 mini pc, all is working fine except for BSOD like twice a month
with a plex lifetime pass
after many troubleshooting i found out i have a bad block on main ssd(disk c with os and plex files)
chkdsk state no problem on filesystem but there are 32kb of files on damaged sectors
no matter how many times i run chkdsk /f /r at boot
Damaged sector is on the primary boot partition on a first sight
even if i’m not completely sure the ssd is the problem, i have intention to replace it soon with another ssd nvme to exclude it’s the real problem.
Sorry for the long introduction, here the real question-----
Since the very beginning i’ve done backup with this script:
The correct step to restore, just to be sure are:
Reinstall os from 0
-install everything i need other than plex and update os and driver, then:
i don’t know if i have first to download and install plex media server and login in or if i have first to restore plex files using the script with a command like this:
.\PlexBackup.ps1 -Mode Restore -BackupDirPath “\MYNAS\PlexBackup\20190101183015”
andf only after install plex media server and login again?
Which one is correct? It’s very important to me because i’ve very huge libraries, if i have to restart from 0 it’ll take 2 weeks at least working on it with 2 people
Obviously the media content drive will be placed in the same location as they were before, i mean drive letter and other stuff…
(Media content are something like 10 TB splitted on 4 external hdds WD, connected to mini pc by a powered HUB usb 3.0)
Thanks for any answer 
Have a Great Day
