Early 2023, my external OWC enclosure power supply failed that stored my Plex server media. OWC does not support this enclosure anymore and cannot source a new power supply. Would it be trivial to point Plex Media Server to my new disk (that was populated from my Drobo backup)? How might this be a problem? Any gotchas if I try to do this? BTW: I probably said no in the past when I was asked to convert to a new format. If this is critical I can provide additional information.
I’ve held off on this for a while because I was not 100% certain that the backup is complete. Now I’m ready to move on with the backup data that I have.
OS: macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)
Hardware: 2014 Mac mini (8GB Memory)
Plex Media Server Version: 1.40.1 (Was 1.30.0 at the time last used with this data)
Plex Clients (AppleTV mostly) or Player Version#: 1.58.1 (Plex.app Mac)
Lasted used: before early 2023
Thanks for your input!
