Hello.
I would like to know if, and how, it is possible to make a backup of all the video settings in the libraries (I have two: one for movies and one for series). I will have to reinstall the operating system of my NAS (a Terramaster) by making a raid with 4 hard disks (the operating system will be on a fifth separate disk). I have already made a backup for the content files, but I would then like to restore the entire Plex configuration as it is now.
I have changed many posters, many customized by me graphically and I really do not want to lose everything, it would be a tragedy, no less than a hundred hours of work dedicated by the undersigned…
See Move an Install to Another System and Where is the Plex Media Server data directory located?.
You’ll want to make a backup of the Plex Data Folder, then restore it after updating the NAS. Read the Move an Install… document to see all the steps.
If TerraMaster has a built in backup utility you may be able to use it for the backup and restore (I’m not familiar with Terramaster NAS).
If you can access the NAS via SSH, you may be able to use the Linux tar command for the backup and restoral. Use Plex Linux Tips: Backup, Restore, or Clone your PMS installation as a guide, and make appropriate changes for Terramaster NAS (the paths will be different, you probably won’t use systemctl to stop/start PMS, etc.).
