Why is Plex so damn fragile?

Plex Media Server
12

Pat,

On DSM 6,

  1. The Shared Folder is named “Plex”
  2. In it, I place a “Library” folder – This is NOT for media (it’s bad naming carried over from the Apple MacOS days)
  3. If you make a backup (ZIP) of that ‘Library’ folder when PMS is stopped then you have a FULL disaster recovery image of everything.
  4. What you saw in settings only does a backup of the database.

You’ll find a lot of help in the DSM FAQ we have. We’ve tried to anticipate needs as well as created some FAQ’s when need arose.
