Plex Server update forced entire library to reload...loosing all previous metadata...

So I noticed today that all of my library contents have a Date Added value equal to 7 days ago. Which is when I last updated the plex server. Now all of the metadata (content rating, collections), album art cleanup, play counts, and watched statuses I’ve done over the last few years is lost.

Should I attempt to restore the database from a backup or cut my losses and start the cleanup process again? Will a database restore mess with items sync’d in the last 7 days?

I seem to have had the same thing happen yesterday. Plex re scanned all my libraries, re added everything, and lost a ton of data like tags, posters I had chosen, etc… I’m going to try to restore a backup database, but, what happened?
