Plex Media Server Shuts Down Every Night After Backup And Restore

Server Version#: 1.28.0.5999
Player Version#: 1.49.1.3146-73559c78

My Plex Media Server now has to be restarted every morning on my Mac mini server after being rock solid for so long. I had issues with other areas of my server so I decided I would do a full reinstall of macOS Monterey and I followed the instructions on how to backup my Plex Media Server, Once I put everything back as expected my Server showed OFFLINE and I had to remove it and add it again, even though nothing had changed and it had the same name and all my media was still on the same external hard drive as before. Next I noticed all my users needed to be granted access to their libraries again. Once this was done everyone could watch their media again and it would remember what people had been watching etc BUT now every morning when I get up the Media Server I’m assuming has crashed. It will work again perfectly once it is opened again but it will crash every night, I saw there was a server update yesterday so I installed it hoping maybe there might be a change but it still crashed like before. Here is a copy of my Server Logs if some of the team could help me resolve this issue.

The log show Plex Media Server exiting at Aug 02, 2022 02:23:04

At the time, it was generating video preview thumbnails for media file
/Volumes/Plex Media/TV/The Dukes Of Hazzard/The Dukes Of Hazzard Series Season 7/Dukes Of Hazzard 7x09 Cale Yarborough Comes To Hazzard (dvdrip by wingman).avi

Looking at earlier logs, I can see a possible similar crash at Aug 01, 2022 02:03:39. The server was also doing video preview thumbnails generation. Looks like same file
/Volumes/Plex Media/TV/The Dukes Of Hazzard/The Dukes Of Hazzard Series Season 7/Dukes Of Hazzard 7x09 Cale Yarborough Comes To Hazzard (dvdrip by wingman).avi

Could you zip this file and upload the zip to google drive/dropbox and send me a link by private message and will see if i can reproduce the crash

Could you on the Mac in these folders for any plex related crash log captured by Mac OS:

Use GoTo Folder... to check these folders

~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/

Thanks
