Plex Library totally reset after missing mount

I just noticed that my mount on my Plex Media Server was unmounted for a few days, which caused Plex to scan and remove all of my movies at some point this week. I just re-mounted the Movies folder and now Plex is rescanning my entire library and metadata just like I hadn’t watched any of them before and my recently added is now also screwed up.

Is there a way I can get back all my “watched” states, collections, and library that I’ve been maintaining?

Nevermind, I just restored to a backup database from a few days ago. Something to keep an eye out for though, very annoying

Disable empty trash after scanning

Thanks, will this essentially resolve running into that problem again?

When would be a good idea to empty the trash if not after scanning?

When you do a scan, and you deleted medias, else no reason to empty the trash
