I’m running Version 1.32.4.7195 Plex server on unRaid. I recently moved large number of movies from my windows machine to to the unraid server. Since then, the last 2 database backups came back as corrupted. Not sure how about resolving this issue. ---

Unraid is known to cause database corruption. See [GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair) for a way to try to fix the database. ---

Anywhere, it creates logs/backups and its useful to keep it all in one place, which is why I created the folder which is not required. ---

@ChuckPa can you lend a hand? You need to log into the docker container too, not just the unraid host ---

This needs to be run from INSIDE the container at the container’s command line. When you’re outside, the script has no idea where to look for things. Please reference: [GitHub - ChuckPa/DBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair) ### EXAMPLE: Using DBRepair inside containers (manual start/stop included) #### (Select containers allow stopping/starting PMS from the menu. See menu for details) ```auto sudo docker exec -it plex /bin/bash # extract from downloaded version file name then cd into directory tar xf PlexDBRepair-1.0.0.tar.gz cd PlexDBRepair-1.0.0 chmod +x DBRepair.sh ./DBRepair.sh ``` [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-database-corruption-unraid-server/846387.md?page=2)
