Server Version#: QNAP TS 451+
I had kind of a rough few weeks with my hard drives failing but luckily I had a backup of Plex. I used the instructions here to make my backup and successfully saved it to an external. There is probably about 100gb of data in the folder, so I was confident that it was saved. Flash to this morning, I have my NAS up and running again, and have installed a new copy of Plex. My assumption is that I need to copy that folder back to its original path, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it…
I have saved a copy of my_plex_library folder that has the backup back onto my NAS, and I have tried to copy back over to that folder but I dont think anything is happening… what should I be typing into Putty?
The copy of my backed up Plex is located in /share/Public/my_plex_library and my current Plex is located at /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer.
I am not very familiar with Linux and command lines so please go easy… I’m hoping I am just missing something simple… I tried the above linked instructions to save it back and it does not seem to do anything. Last time when I saved everyhitng to the public folder it took HOURS to transfer (which makes sense given the file size). Here is what I tried to enter into the command prompt:
login as: XXX
admin@192.168.1.XXX’s password:
[~] # cd /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/
[/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer] # cp -pPR /share/Public/my_plex_library/ Library/*
Thanks for any help!
