Hi,
This is a quicks question, if i wanted to back up and restore my plex (setting & media locations) would i just need to copy the preferances.xml from one plex server to another?
Thanks,
You also need to copy the database. The xml file alone will not be enough to recover your server.
Which data base? Looking at the post you provided i am using a linux based server.
On my Ubuntu installation I use the recommended approach from @ChuckPa in this post
#on existing system
logout of Plex
sudo bash
cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
tar cf /path/to/folder/PlexBackup.tar ./Library
#on new system
sudo bash
cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
rm -rf Library
tar xf /path/to/folder/PlexBackup.tar
sudo chown -R plex:plex ./Library
sudo reboot
