Recently, the external OWC enclosure 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 Drobo that contains the media backup? How might this be a problem? Any gotchas if I try to do this?

I’ve held off on this for a while because I was not 100% certain that the backup is complete.

Server Version#: 1.30.0  
Player Version#: 1.58.1 (Plex.app Mac)

Thanks for your input!

Thanks Tom, because I was using Carbon Copy Cloner I can see the exact pathname to the Plex media. I’m glad there is a simple solution.
