Upgrading the storage on my Synology DS1520+, will reinstall everything from scratch, and migrate to DSM7

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

When you restore,

  1. Create the Plex shared folder again
  2. Put the backup copy of metadata (Everything in the Plex shared folder) back in it.
  3. Now install Plex for DSM 7.

Doing it this way

  1. It will process all your metadata and make it DSM 7 ready
  2. It will then move all the metadata into the new DSM 7 structure (PlexMediaServer shared folder)
  3. When it is complete, the Plex share will be empty

You can monitor the installing (it will sit there for a LONG time) by opening a new session and looking at Migration.log (appears after 2-3 minutes)
